Figure 3

Increased expression of TNF-αR1 in NOD acini. TNF-αR1 mRNA expression in isolated acini from non obese diabetic (NOD) and control mice was determined by RT-PCR as described in Materials and methods. Bands shown are representative of four experiments and results shown for TNF-αR1 band intensity are means ± standard error of the mean of ratios relative to GAPDH for independent NOD (n = 8) and BALB/c (n = 6) samples in experiments run similarly. *P < 0.05 vs BALB/c cells.
