Figure 6.
Stem cell gene expression by stromal progenitor cells. Relative abundance of mRNA for 11 genes reported in stem and ocular progenitor cells was examined using quantitative RT-PCR in clonal stromal (progenitor) cells compared with primary keratocytes as described in Materials and Methods. As controls, GAPDH, keratocan (KERA), and ALDH were determined in the same samples.
