After cDNA synthesis, gene expressions of c-kit, CK5, AQP5, α-amylase and GAPDH were analyzed using the reverse transcription polymerase chain reaction (RT-PCR) and quantified with real-time PCR. A reaction solution was prepared with Fast SYBR® Green Master Mix (Applied Biosystems, Foster City, CA, USA) using appropriate primers (Table 2). Real-time RT-PCR was performed using StepOnePlusTM (Applied Biosystems). After initial heating at 95°C for 20 sec, PCR conditions were set at 95°C for 3 sec and 60°C for 30 sec for 40 cycles each.

About PubCompare

Our mission is to provide scientists with the largest repository of trustworthy protocols and intelligent analytical tools, thereby offering them extensive information to design robust protocols aimed at minimizing the risk of failures.

We believe that the most crucial aspect is to grant scientists access to a wide range of reliable sources and new useful tools that surpass human capabilities.

However, we trust in allowing scientists to determine how to construct their own protocols based on this information, as they are the experts in their field.
