Figure 4From: Infection and upregulation of proinflammatory cytokines in human brain vascular pericytes by human cytomegalovirus Real time RT-PCR analysis for proinflammatory cytokines. Cytokine IL-1 beta, IL-6 and TNF-alpha expression in pericytes 72 hours after SBCMV infection. This experiment was replicated three times, and amplifications were performed in triplicate and normalized to GAPDH. GAPDH, gyceralaldehyde phosphate dehydrogenase; RT-PCR, reverse transcription polymerase chain reaction; SBCMV, primary HCMV isolate from a patient.Back to article page
