Figure 5

Attenuated fibrosis-associated gene expression after serum amyloid P (SAP) treatment. Hamsters were exposed to radiation and treated with SAP (2 mg/kg, i.p. every 2 days from days 0 to 12, daily from days 0 to 7, or every 2 days from days -1 to 26) or vehicle control (phosphate-buffered saline (PBS), i.p. every 2 days from days 0-12). Procollagen III gene expression was determined in the irradiated cheek pouches using branched DNA technology at (A) day 16 and (B) day 28. Bars represent the mean ± SEM. of four animals per group.
