Expression of CTGF in the kidney.

<p>Real time RT-PCR and western blotting were performed to examine mRNA and protein levels of CTGF in the kidney of these rats. Panel A displays real-time RT-PCR results. Panel B shows representative western blots of CTGF. Panel C shows the densitometric data of the western blots. The data are expressed as the mean±SD. *p<0.05 when compared with normal rats and ^#p<0.05 when compared with IgAN rats, n = 10.
