Prolactin Rescues Immature B-Cells from Apoptosis Induced by B-Cell Receptor Cross-Linking

Figure 1

Expression of the PRL receptor. mRNA and protein expression levels of the PRL receptor in WEHI-231 cells. (a) The PRL receptor mRNA expression was measured by RT-PCR using primers specific for the extra- and intracellular domains of the receptor in WEHI-231 cells to allow recognition of the different isoforms (long and short). (b) The expression level of the receptor was measured by flow cytometry using goat anti-PRL receptor antibodies. The isotype control was an unrelated goat antibody.
