From: Differential expression of Toll-like receptors on human alveolar macrophages and autologous peripheral monocytes

Figure 3

Bronchoalveolar cell mRNA expression of TLR2, TLR4 and TLR9 is lower than that of monocytes. TLR gene expression in unstimulated cells was assessed by qRT-PCR and relative quantification determined using the ΔΔCT method. Gene expression was normalized to 18 S rRNA. TLR expression of bronchoalveolar cells (BAC, panel A) and monocyte-derived macrophages (MDM, panel B) is reported relative to monocytes (MN). TLR expression on monocytes was set at 1. Depicted are mean ± SE of five individuals.
