RT-PCR analysis of nAChR subunits in BAL cells, which consistently express mRNA coding for α9, α10, β1 and β2 subunits. Subunit α5 shows an interindividual expression pattern. The mRNAs coding for α1, α4, α6, α7 and β3 subunits are absent. Positive controls were run on DRG (α2-α10), lung (β2-4), and skeletal muscle (α1 and β1). Negative controls were done without RT.
