Expression of Toll-like receptor (TLR) mRNA in normal skin (NS), verruca vulgaris (VV), and molluscum contagiosum (MC) skin lesions. RT-PCR products were amplified from NS, VV, and MC using specific DNA oligo primers for the human TLR2, 3, 4, 7, and 9. The mRNA expression was normalized with β-actin mRNA expression for each experimental condition (A). The level of mRNA expression for each of these gene products in NS, VV, and MC was presented by fold increases over that of NS (B). Each bar represents mean±S.E.M.
