Figure 6Western blot of 5-HTT protein in lungs from
5-HTT+/+ and
5-HTT–/– mutant mice at the end of a 2-week exposure to normoxia or hypoxia. (
a) The 5-HTT immunoreactivity in lungs from
5-HTT+/+ mice (lanes 1, 3) and
5-HTT–/– mice (lanes 2, 4). The specific antibodies recognized a protein with an apparent molecular weight of 64 kDa. (
b) Quantitation of the 5-HTT signal in lungs from normoxic and chronically hypoxic
5-HTT+/+ and
5-HTT–/– mice (
n = 5 in each group).
AP < 0.05 as compared with 5-HTT levels in normoxic
5-HTT+/+ mice.
