Table 2 Statistical analysis of mRNA expression of α-SMA and ß-actin in mice kidneys underwent UUO

From: Selective measurement of α smooth muscle actin: why β-actin can not be used as a housekeeping gene when tissue fibrosis occurs

  1. The mRNA expression of α-SMA and ß-actin was determined by comparison with the expression of 18S ribosomal RNA (RN18S) as internal control from the same samples using the ∆∆Ct method
