Figure 2: Histogram showing the relative level of the canonical (full-length) (A) and short (B) beta chain determined by quantitative PCR.
Levels of IL-18Rβ transcripts in each brain area were normalized with those of Cyclophilin A. The normalized level in the cerebral cortex was arbitrarily assigned the value of 1.00. Each column represents mean ± S.E.M.; ** p = .005 and ## p= .001 among the brain areas for the canonical or short IL-18Rβ variants respectively (One-Way ANOVA).
