TNFSF ligands mRNA expressions in adult human and murine tissues a Quantitative real-time PCR analysis was performed on cDNAs prepared from pools of healthy human tissue as described in the methods and mRNA expression levels of all the organs were normalised to GAPDH mRNA expression level and spleen mRNA levels were illustrated in the form histograms. Whereas the mRNA expression levels of other organs were normalized to spleen mRNA expression levels and were represented in the heatmap. b cDNAs derived from five adult 12-week old C57BL/6 mice as described in methods and mRNA expression levels of all the organs were normalised to 18 s rRNA expression level and the spleen mRNA levels were illustrated in the form of histograms. Whereas the mRNA expression levels of respected other organs were normalized to spleen expression levels and were represented in the heatmap. Data represent means ± SEM
