ACE mRNA expression in IEL sub-populations.
IEL Sub-population | ACE mRNA expression |
---|---|
αβ– TCR | 0.63 ±0.01 |
γδ–TCR | 0.57 ±0.15 |
CD4 | 0.77 ±0.13 |
CD8α | 0.86 ±0.13 |
IEL were derived from adult, untreated mice, and were purified using flow cytometric sorting. Note the fairly uniform expression of ACE in each sub-population. Abbreviations: TCR, T-cell receptor. Data is derived from semi-quantitative PCR based on the relative expression of beta actin, and is a mean (± SD) of IEL derived from 3 individual sortings.
