Fig. 3.

VDR transcript levels after the induction of HBV expression in HepAD38 cells. HepAD38 cell were cultured in the presence of 0.3 μg/ml tretracyline. In the next stage, HepAD38cells were washed and the medium was replaced by tetracycline free medium. HBV (a) and VDR (b) transcripts levels were measured using RT-PCR. VDR protein levels (c) were measured using western blot analysis. The western blot presented in the figure is a representative of three different experiments; all of these experiments were calculated in the quantification. Results are expressed as mean ± standard deviation
