Figure 3: mRNA levels of MMP-2 of primary cell cultures of the pharynx grown on polystyrene (control) versus multiblock copolymer surface
MMP-2 mRNA levels of primary cells of the pharynx on Day 1 and 3 grown on polystyrene (control) are shown on the left side. The kinetics of MMP-2 mRNA levels on Day 1 and 3 of cells grown on copolymer are presented on the right side. Primers used for RT-PCR were rat MMP-2 and rat GAPDH.
