| Figure 3: Expression of focal adhesion kinase (FAK) and integrin beta1 in fetal membranes obtained from patients (Patient-1: P-, Patient-2: P-2) with preterm premature rupture of the membrane (pPROM). (a) The first line is a blot of the anti-integrin-1 antibody. The second line is anti-focal adhesive kinase (FAK) prepared for Western blotting. A total of 17 μg of protein was loaded in 25 μl in each lane. Results are representative of one experiment repeated three times. (b) FAK and integrin beta1 expression was quantified by densitometry and is expressed as mean peak optical density ± standard error of the number of samples in each group. Results are representative of one experiment. The experiment was repeated three times and presented as mean ± standard deviation. Asterisks (*) represent a significant p-value between pPROM and control |
