Figure 2From: Abnormal expression of p27kip1 protein in levator ani muscle of aging women with pelvic floor disorders – a relationship to the cellular differentiation and degeneration A) Western blot of lysates from whole placenta (WP), trophoblast culture (TrC), rectus fascia (RF), and levator ani muscle of the symptomatic (sLM) and asymptomatic woman (aLM). Note a single band detected by p27 monoclonal antibody (lanes 1–5) and a lack of nonspecific staining (lanes 6 and 7). B) Quantitative evaluation of panel A showed significant differences in the density of p27 expression between all measurements (P < 0.001), but not WP vs. RF (P > 0.05) and sLM vs. aLM (P > 0.05).Back to article page
