Basal melanin levels and melanogenic enzyme expression/activity in primary epidermal melanocyte (EM) cultures. (A) Basal melanin levels in primary EM cultures, (B) basal dopa-oxidase activity of tyrosinase and expression of tyrosinase, tyrosinase-related protein-1 (TRP-1) and dopachrome tautomerase (DCT) in primary EM cultures, (C) densitometric analysis of tyrosinase, TRP-1 and DCT expression normalized to actin expression. SPT (skin phototype). All lanes are from the same blot (i.e. experiment) and so are directly comparable. Cell cultures: 23, 24, 29, 37, 40, 42, 45 and 50. M = modified by glycosylation; N = native.
