Figure 5

Normal transforming growth factor-β (TGFβ) levels and activity in Ha-Ras infected mouse dermal fibroblasts (mDFs). (A) Cell-based bioassays estimating the amount of active TGFβ in mDF cultures infected with Ha-Ras or control lentiviruses. (B) Real-time quantitative polymerase chain reaction (qPCR) assessment (n = 3) of steady-state levels of TGFβ messenger RNAs in mDF cultures infected with Ha-Ras or control lentiviruses. Each bar graph represents three independent samples analysed in duplicate and error bars signify ± standard deviation.
