Figure 1.

End‐point PCR experiments investigating UT‐B expression in human colon. Using cDNA derived from pooled total RNA adult colon samples (N = 5), strong signals were detected with all the UT‐B primer sets tested. In each case, the predicted size product for UT‐B1 transcripts was produced, with no other strong signals evident. For example, the F1/R5 primers detected the 450 bp product expected with UT‐B1 in colon but not the 600 bp UT‐B2 signal, which was detected in human adult bladder. Key: RT = reverse transcriptase; + = RT present; − = RT absent.
