Induction of NEP in BM stroma stimulated with SCF.

A representative blot from 3 healthy donors is shown. (A) Northern analyses determined steady-state levels of mRNA for NEP at different times after stimulation of BM stroma with 10 ng/mL SCF. (B) Arrow represents NEP mRNA and lower row represents 18S rRNA. NEP levels were normalized with 18 sRNA and represented as the fold change over unstimulated stroma.
