Figure 1From: Reduction of human chorionic gonadotropin beta subunit expression by modified U1 snRNA caused apoptosis in cervical cancer cellsExpression of human chorionic beta subunit in uterine cervix. (A) Electrophoretic separation showing representative RT-PCR results performed for uterine cervix carcinomas. A 210 bp fragment of hCGβ was amplified for the uterine cervix carcinoma (lanes 1 – 4) and placenta (lane 5) samples. Molecular size marker is given in lane M. (B) RT-PCR analysis of total RNA from normal myometrium (lanes 1–2) and uterine cervix tissue (lanes 3–6). Lanes 1, 3 and 5 used RT-PCR primers specific to the hCGβ mRNA as was done in Figure 1A. Lanes 2, 4 and 6 are control RT-PCRs with primers specific to the β-actin mRNA (predict a 509 bp product) to confirm the integrity of the RNA. M – size marker.Back to article page
