Figure 1From: Up-regulation of endoplasmic reticulum stress induced genes of the unfolded protein response in the liver of periparturient dairy cowsActivation of XBP1 by unconventional splicing following the onset of lactation. Representative images from two cows demonstrating the unspliced (155Â bp) and the spliced (129Â bp) XBP1 mRNA as determined by conventional RT-PCR. The ATP5B mRNA was determined as reference gene.Back to article page
