Molecular Characterization of the Human and Mouse Parotid Gland . Molecular Characterization of the Human and Mouse Parotid Gland

Gene expression of 4 human parotid gland samples were comapred with 4 mouse parotid gland samples. Keywords: Comparative Gene Expression Overall design: Human and mouse parotid gland gene expression was screened using custom-designed targeted cDNA containing probes for 198 genes which encode for ion/water transporter (75 genes) and receptor/regulatory (101 genes) proteins potentially involved in the fluid secretion mechanism, as well as 11 secretory protein genes and 11 control genes
