Membrane-bound mucins MUC1, MUC2, and MUC4 gene expression in lung tissue obtained from OVA-sensitized TIMPKO, OVA-sensitized TIMPKO, OVA-sensitized WT, and WT-SHAM mice. Comparative real-time qPCR analysis showing the relative gene expression of MUC1, MUC2, and MUC4 in lung tissue obtained from OVA-sensitized TIMPKO, OVA-sensitized TIMPKO, OVA-sensitized WT, and WT-SHAM mice. Data normalized to the housekeeping gene β-actin and with WT-SHAM as control. Gene expression was calculated using the comparative CT method. Results are expressed as the mean ± SD, n = 3 separate experiments.
