Figure 1From: Kinesin-like protein CENP-E is upregulated in rheumatoid synovial fibroblastsOriginal fingerprint [RNA arbitrarily primed (RAP)-polymerase chain reaction (PCR)] of RNA of synovial fibroblasts derived from 10 different patients with rheumatoid arthritis and six patients with osteoarthritis. Each RAP-PCR was performed in triplicate using three different RNA concentrations. Left two lanes: DNA marker. Triplicate lanes 1–10 show the RAP-PCR of the synovial fibroblasts of the 10 rheumatoid arthritis patients, and lanes 11–16 show the RAP-PCR of those of the osteoarthritis patients. The arrow indicates the differentially displayed gene fragment seen in the rheumatoid arthritis patients (434 base pairs), which was used for subsequent analysis.Back to article page
