Fig. 5.
gp38+CD133+ cells exhibit oval cell characteristics. gp38+CD133+ and gp38−CD133+ subsets were sorted with high purity, RNA and cDNA were prepared and qPCR was performed. Graph depicts the ΔCT values of each subset compared with its housekeeping gene (β2-microglobulin) ± SE for the listed genes. A: progenitor-related genes. B: various signaling pathway-associated genes. From each subset 3 independent samples were sorted and processed.
