Fig. 4. Expression of xSP-C and xSP-B in adult tissues. Expression of the surfactant protein genes is limited to the lung in adult Xenopus laevis. RT-PCR was performed on cDNA from various adult tissues in order to determine where xSP-C and xSP-B genes were expressed in the adult frog. The following adult tissue cDNA was used in each marked lane: (H20) water, (-RT) lung with no reverse transcriptase added to the RT reaction, (Lu) lung, (St) stomach, (Li) liver, (He) heart, (Mu) skeletal muscle, and (In) intestine. xSP-C, SP-B, and ODC expression was detected after 30 cycles of PCR.
