Figure 2.
DNA contents and GAG retentions of the DCL. The DNA and GAG contents of DCL under various conditions were measured. The results indicated that the DCL treated with hypotonic 0.5% TE showed the lowest DNA contents (a) and DCL treated with hypertonic 0.5% TE showed the highest GAG contents (b). NC indicates nitrocellulose membrane. Scale bar indicates 50 μm. The values shown are the means ± SEMs (n = 4). Statistical significance: ∗p < 0.05, ∗∗p < 0.005, and ∗∗∗p < 0.005 versus hypotonic 0.5% TE. n.s is not significant.
