Figure 1From: Human periostin gene expression in normal tissues, tumors and melanoma: evidences for periostin production by both stromal and melanoma cellsQuantitative measurement of POSTN expression in human normal tissues and primary cultures. POSTN and ACTB cDNA levels were measured by qRT-PCR based on Taqman technology. For each sample, measurements were done in triplicate. POSTN/ACTB Ć 104 was calculated as [(cDNA POSTN/cDNA ACTB) Ć 104]. A. POSTN expression in normal tissues. Error bars represent standard deviations (SD). The table below the graph gives the average POSTN/ACTB Ć 104 Ā± SD values for each sample. B. POSTN expression in primary cultures of human embryonic stem cells at day 5 (HUES), fetal lung fibroblasts (IMR90), newborn foreskin fibroblasts (HFF2) and adult skin fibroblasts (LB2924). Error bars represent SD.Back to article page
