Semiquantitative analysis of transcription of various genes associated with hypercalcemia.
Transcripts of various cytokine genes [(A) M-CSF, (B) PTH-rP, (C) RANKL, (D) TNF-α, and (E) OPG] were quantified and compared with the expression of glyceraldehydes-3-phosphate dehydrogenase (GAPDH) as described. U indicates unstimulated PBMCs; s, phytohemagglutinin-stimulated PBMCs; and 1-15 represent the number of patients shown in Tables 1 and 2.
