Time course of the expression of SCF transcripts in human epidermis after UVB irradiation. Volar forearms of healthy human volunteers were exposed to two minimal erythemal doses of UVB, followed by suction blister biopsies to allow real-time quantitative RT-PCR analysis of SCF mRNA transcript levels. Real-time quantitative RT-PCR was performed using an ABI Prism 7700 sequence detection system as detailed in Materials and Methods. The expression of SCF transcripts in the UVB-exposed epidermis was normalized against the expression of GAPDH. The values reported represent means ± SD from two to eight volunteers. Symbols for circles, triangles, and squares correspond to each volunteer. White isosceles triangles represent the average of volunteers. *, P < 0.05; **, P < 0.01.
