Quantification of radiolabeled tropoelastin after in vitro translation. The amounts of radiolabeled tropoelastin in reticulocyte lysates from cytoplasmic RNA of normal conjunctival fibroblasts increased after irradiation with UVB at 6 mJ/cm 2 (n = 3; Student’s t-test; P < 0.05 compared with normal conjunctival fibroblasts), but are not different from fibroblasts irradiated with UVB at 3 mJ/cm 2 (n = 3; Student’s t-test; P > 0.05). The levels of radiolabeled tropoelastin in reticulolysates from cytoplasmic mRNA irradiated with UVB at 6 mJ/cm 2 are less than in pterygial fibroblasts (n = 3; Student’s t-test; P < 0.05).
