Differential Transcript Profiles of MHC Class Ib(Qa-1, Qa-2, and Qa-10) and Aire Genes during the Ontogeny of Thymus and Other Tissues
Figure 3
Comparison of gene expression profiles during thymus development between C57BL/6 and BALB/c mice. Relative quantification (RQ) of messenger RNA for (a) H2-Q7(Qa-2), (b) H2-T23(Qa-1), (c) H2-Q10(Qa-10), and (d) Aire is representative of the mean values of 2−ΔΔCt. Tissue samples were obtained in triplicate from different animals and lineages for each age analyzed. Each experiment was independently performed at least three times. Data were analyzed statistically by the Student’s -test. Values close to the level of significance are marked with ().
