Figure 6.
Real-time PCR study of the solid parts of astrocytomas. The amplification and melt curves of AQP1 mRNA (a), AQP4 mRNA (b), AQP9 mRNA (c), β-actin mRNA (d). It showed that there was much AQP4 mRNA, a little AQP9 mRNA and no AQP1 mRNA expression in the solid parts of the tumors. AQP, aquaporin; PCR, polymerase chain reaction.
