Figure 5. Molecular characterization of conventional shave biopsies and microbiopsies.

Figure 5.

The left panel shows the Bioanalyzer readout from RNA isolated from a conventional actinic keratosis (AK) shave biopsy next to microbiopsy obtained RNA from the same AK lesion. The right panel compares the RNA quality of a shave biopsy and normal skin microbiopsy that were subjected to total transcriptome amplification to generate cDNA. The cDNA was then used as a template for a PCR reaction containing actin specific primers with an expected product at 800 bp.
