- Figure 10 shows the human kidney (Pancreas lane), human brain (Brain lane) or human placenta.
- Each cDNA derived from (Placenta lane) was type III, and the results of PCR using each gene-specific primer are shown (HNF3G, PHF1 and DLX4 panels, respectively).
- the desired PCR product was detected by ethidium umide staining.
- the numbers on the left indicate the size marker values (bp), and the arrowheads indicate the positions of the amplification products derived from each mRNA. Brain, Pancreas, and Placenta indicate that cDNA derived from each organ was type II.
- FIG. 11 is a diagram showing the results of performing PCR using mouse-derived MIN6 cell-derived cDNA as type III and using gene-specific primers (lanes for HNF3G, PHF1 and DLX4, respectively).
- the reaction solution was separated by 2% agarose gel electrophoresis, and the desired PCR product was detected by ethidium-mouth staining.
- the number on the left indicates the size marker value (bp), and the arrowhead indicates the position of the amplification product derived from each mRNA. Since the primers for detecting each gene are designed so as to sandwich an intron, the amplified PCR product is not derived from genomic DNA. Sequence listing free text
