TLR4 mRNA expression declines along tissues of the female reproductive tract. cDNA was synthesized by reverse transcription from total RNA, and relative TLR4 mRNA levels were assessed by real-time PCR analysis with normalization to β-actin controls. Each reaction was performed in duplicate. Comparisons among tissue types were made with paired tissue samples of the fallopian tube (FT), endometrium (EM), cervix (CX), and ectocervix (ECX) derived from the same patients. The sample size for each comparison is indicated in the upper right quadrant of each panel.
