Figure 1From: Regulation of surfactant protein D in the rodent prostateRelative amount of SP-D mRNA in mouse male reproductive tract tissues as determined by semi-quantitative real time RT-PCR. T = testis, E = epididymis, V = vas deferens, SV = seminal vesicle, P = prostate, and CG = coagulating gland. SP-D mRNA was detected in the testis, epididymis, vas defrens, prostate, and coagulating gland but was not detectable in the seminal vesicle. The data represent the mean, plus or minus the standard deviation, n = 5–6 animals. An asterisk denotes a significant decrease in SP-D mRNA levels in the vas deferens, seminal vesicle, and coagulating gland as compared to the epididymis, ANOVA, p < 0.05.Back to article page
