Figure 2From: Expression of leukemia inhibitory factor (LIF) and its receptor gp190 in human liver and in cultured human liver myofibroblasts. Cloning of new isoforms of LIF mRNADetection of LIF transcripts in cultured human liver myofibroblasts. (A): Northern blot. Total RNA from cultured human liver myofibroblasts was hybridized with a cDNA probe to human LIF. A single 4.5 kb band was observed; (B) and (C): RT-PCR. Total RNA was subjected to reverse transcription then to PCR with the hLIF-D3/hLIF-N4 (B) or with the hLIF-M3/hLIF-N4 primers (C).Back to article page
