Real-time PCR of CD45 expression in isolated liver sinusoidal endothelial cells (LSEC). CD45 mRNA expression in LSEC isolated from normal rat liver was quantified by real-time PCR. Rat bone marrow mononuclear cells (BMMC) were used as a positive control and rat aortic endothelial cells (RAEC) were used as a negative control. CD45 mRNA levels are significantly higher in LSEC and BMMC than RAEC (n = 4; P < 0.0001 for comparison of the 3 cell types by ANOVA; *P < 0.001 for comparison of LSEC and BMMC vs. RAEC by least significant difference test).
