Figure 3.

TERT RNA expression measured by reverse transcriptase–PCR with primers outside the alternatively spliced region (TERT3′, Left) and primers for four alternative splice products (TERT, Right). TERT3′ expression as well as two major (239 and 421 bp) and two minor (275 and 457 bp) TERT products are present in thymus (T) and the cell lines OSA, LPC3, LPC6, and LPC10, but not in kidney (K), pancreas (P), or LPC13; β-actin (ACTB) was used as internal control.
