| Method |
Primary source abstract: "To quantitate in absolute terms the prestin mRNA levels in the explant culture of rat cochlea, [investigators] used competitive RT-PCR with a synthetic internal cRNA standard." |
| Comments |
P.193 right column 3rd paragraph: "By postnatal day 3 (P3) in the rat, ~300 copies of prestin mRNA can be found per OHC (primary source)." Primary source abstract: "Prestin gene expression was found at levels of 100 fg specific mRNA/microg total RNA on postnatal day 3, which corresponds to about 300 copies per outer hair cell (OHC) and is indicative of an intermediate level of expression." |
