Fig. 2.

Pulmonary expression of candidate genes in the reduced Blmpf1 region. Mice were treated as in Fig. 1 or left untreated (controls). Gene expression in right lung tissue is relative to the reference gene Atxn10, and normalized to C57BL/6J control level. Mean ± coefficient of variation of 6–15 mice per group. P values by ANOVA. Asterisk denotes a significant difference in expression of bleomycin-treated mice relative to untreated in strain controls, P < 0.05; hash indicates a significant difference in expression by strain, P < 0.05, by Tukey’s post hoc test. Btnl1 and Btnl4 were not detected in lungs of C3H/HeJ mice after 40 qRT-PCR cycles
