Table 4. Gene expression of peritoneal macrophage isolated from BM recipient mice.

Relative mRNA levels of the genes were calculated by the ratio of expression to the levels of β-actin mRNA. Values are mean ± S.E. and relative to 3ko, which was adjusted to 100. ABCA1 levels of 3h cells were significantly different from 3ko.
