Figure 2. The detection of germ marker mRNA in PGC-like cells.

Figure 2

The expression of several marker genes known to be associated with PGCs was determined by real time RT-PCR. Relative quantification of (A) Oct4, (B) Fragilis, (C) Stella, (D) Dazl, (E) Vasa, and (F) c-Kit mRNA levels in D0 undifferentiated skin-derived stem cells and D20, D25, and D30 non-adherent PGC-like cells. Levels were normalized for the RpII housekeeper, and results are presented relative to D30 PGC-like cells. Data represent the meanĀ±SEM of four independent experiments, with different letter subscripts denoting statistical differences between groups (P<0.05).
