Figure 4. Conduit versus resistance artery for RNA encoding K_Vα1.

Data are for endothelium-denuded vessels. Adventitia were intact. F₁/R₁ PCR primer sets were used (Table 1). A, SYBR Green fluorescence plotted against PCR cycle for typical reactions. B, mean ±s.e.m. abundances for aorta (white bars) and mesenteric artery (black bars) (***P < 0.01 mesenteric versus aorta, n= 4). C, end-point PCR products on agarose gels for RNA species indicated. DNA standards were run on the left side of each gel. Templates were from aorta (‘A’), mesenteric artery (‘M’) and mouse brain samples. Presence (+) or absence (−) of reverse transcriptase reaction.
