Figure 5

Prostate-specific expression of a novel β-defensin gene (Defβ37/Pbd1). (a) Dot blots comprised of mRNAs derived from multiple normal mouse tissues were hybridized with probes encoding the Defβ37/Pbd1 gene, exposed to a phosphorimage screen, and quantitated. Tissue signal intensities are reported in arbitrary units above background intensity. (b) Prostate-specific expression of a novel β-defensin gene (Defβ37/Pbd1). QPCR analysis of Defβ37/Pbd1 expression in multiple normal mouse tissues and in dissected mouse prostate lobes. Expression levels reflect the relative fold-differences in transcript abundance between tissue samples. Very low levels of Defβ37/Pbd1 expression not visible on this plot were detectable in skeletal muscle and testis (asterisks). (c) Prostate-specific expression of a novel β-defensin gene (Defβ37/Pbd1). Northern analysis of Defβ37/Pbd1 expression in dissected individual mouse prostate lobes.
