Fig. 2. Northern blot analyses of mRNA isolates from nasal glands of untreated (fw)
and osmotically stressed (sw) ducklings using AQP1- and AQP5-specific
DIG-labelled cDNA probes. (A) Left panel: example of a northern blot with
simultaneous detection of AQP1 and AQP5 mRNAs; right panel: inverse
fluorescence image of an ethidium bromide-stained agarose gel used for
northern blotting. The positions of residual ribosomal RNAs (28S, 18S) in the
mRNA samples loaded onto the gel lanes are indicated. These signals were used
to control for even loading of the gels. (B) Relative intensities of northern
blot signals in mRNA isolates from nasal glands of untreated (fw) and
osmotically stressed (sw) ducklings obtained with AQP1-specific cDNA probes
(means ± s.d., N=12, *P<0.05, ANOVA). (C) Relative
intensities of northern blot signals in mRNA isolates from nasal glands of
untreated (fw) and osmotically stressed (sw) ducklings obtained with
AQP5-specific cDNA probes (means ± s.d., N=12,
**P<0.01, ANOVA).
