Figure 7. Levels of Ifi202 mRNA in splenic cells depend on the ERα status.
Total RNA isolated from spleens of wild type (Esr1+/+; lanes 1–3) or ER-α-deficient (Esr1−/−; lanes 4–6) age-matched (NZB × NZW)F1 female mice was analyzed by semi-quantitative RT-PCR for expression levels of Esr1, Ifi202, and actin mRNA.
