Fig. 1From: YKL-40 in the brain and cerebrospinal fluid of neurodegenerative dementiasYKL-40 expression in the brain tissue of sCJD and related mouse model. a RT-qPCR analysis of YKL-40 in the frontal cortex (left panel) and cerebellum (right panel) of control, sCJD MM1 and sCJD VV2 samples. GAPDH was used for normalization. b Western blot analysis of YKL-40 in the frontal cortex (upper panel) and cerebellum (bottom panel) of control, sCJD MM1 and sCJD VV2 samples. For normalization GAPDH was used. Graphical representation of Western Blot data acquired from the analysis of eight samples per group. Fold changes in the expression of mRNA and protein were determined relative to the control cases. Kruskal-Wallis and Dunn’s post-hoc tests were used to determine statistical differences. ***p < 0.001Back to article page
