Figure 5. Differences in expression levels of surface receptors between the cultured BECs and freshly isolated BECs.

Figure 5

The RPL4 normalized mouse expression values (Mouse) (RPL4 normalized) are compared to the also RPL4 normalized expression values of hpBECs (Average P) and hCMEC/D3 (Average D3). The lower graph shows the absolute expression levels for each cell type. The upper graph shows the ratio between RPL4 normalized mouse BECs and hpBECs (Ratio M/P), the ratio between RPL4 normalized mouse BECs and hCMEC/D3 (Ratio M/D3) and the ratio between hpBECs and hCMEC/D3 (Ratio P/D3). Four genes that are expressed in much lower levels in both the hpBECs and the hCMEC/D3 cell line are Lrp8, IR, IGF1R and FcRn.
