Expression of Mmp-2,-3,-8,-9,-10,-12,-13,-14 and Timp-1, -2, -3 mRNA in non-injured skin tissues from nude (Hsd: Athymic Nude-Foxn1^nu) and wild type (BALB/c) mice.

	MMP-2	MMP-3	MMP-8	MMP-9	MMP-10	MMP-12^*	MMP-13^*	MMP-14	TIMP-1	TIMP-2	TIMP-3
nude	5.69±1.8	1.79±0.3	0.11±0.1	2.95±0.7	0.58±0.2	9.73±3.6	2.77±0.8	10.7±4.7	0.78±0.2	7.55±2.4	18.77±5.7
wild type	6.15±0.9	1.65±0.3	0.02±0.01	1.88±0.4	0.15±0.07	1.63±1.05	0.60±0.39	8.5±1.24	0.35±0.07	10.88±2.08	38.92±9.9

Expression of Mmps and Timps mRNA analysed in single skin samples (n=7–9) was normalized by level of cyclophilin B mRNA in the reaction using standard curve method. There were no statistically significant differences in the cyclophilin B mRNA copy numbers between nude and wild type mice. Values are the mean ± SEM (n=7–9);
