Fig. 2. (A) Superoxide dismutase protein (SOD) concentration measured as optical
density (relative units) of immunoblots of sea urchin (Strongylocentrotus
droebachiensis) embryos exposed to UVR in the five treatment groups. (B)
p53 protein concentration measured as optical density of immunoblots
of sea urchin (Strongylocentrotus droebachiensis) embryos exposed to
UVR at five different wavelengths (treatment groups). (C) p21 protein
concentration measured as optical density of immunoblots of sea urchin
(Strongylocentrotus droebachiensis) embryos exposed to UVR in the
five treatment groups. (D) cdc2 protein concentration measured as
optical density of immunoblots of sea urchin (Strongylocentrotus
droebachiensis) freshly fertilized embryos exposed to UVR in the five
treatment groups. See representative immunoblot above each bar graph.
N=3 samples for each treatment (i.e. filter); values are means
± S.D. of relative optical density. Treatment groups that
share superscripts are not significantly different from one another using
multiple comparison testing (SNK) at a significance level of 0.05%. FFE,
freshly fertilized embryos.
