From: The human RPS4 paralogue on Yq11.223 encodes a structurally conserved ribosomal protein and is preferentially expressed during spermatogenesis

Figure 2

Expression of RPS4 genes in testis biopsies of five infertile individuals. All samples had been previously characterized by histology and global expression profiling [17] (3 subjected to vasectomy - VAS1, VAS3, VAS5; 2 azoospermic patients - AZ7, AZ9). (A) End-point detection of RT-PCR products of RPS4XY isoforms by electrophoresis. Last lane is the no template control. (B) Quantitative real time PCR using an RPS4Y2 TaqMan probe. The values correspond to the mean of two independent measurements of relative expression using GAPDH as an endogenous control for normalization. The error bars refer to one standard deviation to the mean of the two experimental replicates.
