Figure 1. Placental CTL1 and CTL2 expression levels over gestation.
Western blot analysis of CTL1 and CTL2 protein expression was performed using human placenta lysates of the chorionic villi region at 6–8, 10–12, 18–24, 28–32, and 37–40 (labored and unlabored) week gestation. (A & B) Representative blots for CTL1 and CTL2 protein expression levels for three samples at each gestational time point with β-actin serving as a loading control. (C & D) Western blot densitometry from multiple western blot analyses was performed using ImageJ. Normalization across blots was done on identical placental sample present on each blot. Mean ± s.e.m., n=5–13 per gestational group.
