Pearce, MD  Journal of Vascular Surgery  Volume 16, Issue 2, Pages (August 1992) DOI: / (92)90107-J Copyright © 1992 Society for Vascular Surgery and the North American Chapter, International Society for Cardiovascular Surgery Terms and Conditions

3 Fig. 2 Comparison of Northern blot analysis of total RNA from normal (NOR) human infrarenal aorta obtained from transplant donors, infrarenal aorta affected with atherosclerosis (AOD) but no aneurysmal dilation, and infrarenal aorta from patients with abdominal aortic aneurysm (AAA). Total RNA extracted from bovine nuchal ligament (BNL) was used as a positive control for elastin. The nitrocellulose transfers were hybridized with complimentary DNA sequences to elastin (3.5 kb), α-tubulin (1.7 kb) and α1(I) procollagen (4.8 and 5.8 kb). Age and sex of patients are shown at bottom of each lane.
