Relative mRNA expression levels of various mRNAs in gastric mucosa and FACS-separated pools of gastric mucosal cell populations.

All values are normalized to the housekeeping gene cyclophilin. With the exception of Tmt, each value represents the amount of mRNA relative to that within gastric mucosa preparations from C57BL6/J mice.
#The mRNA level was lower than the detection limit; because Tmt is not found in (wild-type) C57BL6/J mice, the value of Tmt in the Tmt-enriched pools represents the amount of mRNA relative to that of Tmt-negative pools.
*P<0.05, ***P<0.001 as compared to mucosa (or in the case of Tmt, as compared to Tmt-negative pools) when determined by Dunnett's post-hoc analysis.
Values in parenthesis denote the mean ± SEM of threshold cycles. (n = 3–4 FACS preparations/gene).
