TRAIL and DR5 expression in the kidneys of mice post-burn injury. Burn injury induced elevated TRA-IL and DR5 expression in the kidneys of mice at 24 h after the burn was determined by western blot. Anti-actin blots show protein loading. A. Equal amounts of immunoblotted proteins from two representative kidney lysates of the sham control and vehicle treatment groups were assayed. B. Western blotting bands from three independent measurements were quantified with Image J. The relative expression of each band = (density of each band/density of the actin band). Mean ± SD was from three independent measurements. *, P < 0.05 Vehicle vs. Sham. n = 10 mice for each group.
