Figure 7.
Gene expression analysis in Elf5 and Prlr heterozygous mammary glands. (A) Elf5 mRNA expression (isoforms a and b) in Prlr+/− versus Prlr+/+ glands. Results are shown as the average number of Elf5 transcripts (Prlr+/+: n=4, Prlr+/−: n=3). A statistical t-test was performed between the two groups. (B) Prlr mRNA expression in Elf5+/− versus Elf5+/+ glands. There is no significant difference between wild types and heterozygotes. (C) Milk protein gene expression in Elf5+/− versus Elf5+/+ glands. The genes tested are as indicated (CSNβ is β-casein). (D) Milk protein expression in Elf5+/− versus Elf5+/+ glands.
