Secretoglobins: Sexually Dimorphic Expression of Androgen-Binding Protein mRNA in Mouse Lacrimal Glands
28 Dec 2004
Abstract excerpt
PURPOSE: This study was conducted to seek sex differences in mRNA expression in normal mouse lacrimal glands. Gene expression differences in the lacrimal gland may contribute to susceptibility to lacrimal gland or ocular surface disease. METHODS: A differential display analysis was performed on poly(A)+ RNA isolated from male and female Swiss Webster mouse exorbital lacrimal glands. Four potential gender-specific...
