Figure 2From: High level expression of human epithelial β-defensins (hBD-1, 2 and 3) in papillomavirus induced lesionshBD-1, hBD-2, hBD-3, HD5, HD6 and IL-8 mRNA expressions were analyzed by real-time RT-PCR. Bars represent defensins expression normalized to β-actin and relative to normal mucosa using the 2-ΔΔCT analysis as described in Materials and Methods. Error bars represent the standard error of the mean of triplicate analysis.Back to article page
