Figure 1. Characterization of atypical Werner Syndrome and Werner Syndrome fibroblasts.
(A) DNA synthesis in fibroblasts measured by the BrdU incorporation assay. Each WRN cell line was compared with its matched control in gender and age. (B) WRN mRNA levels measured during a proliferating phase, 48h after seeding the cells determined by RT-PCR, mean ±SD of three replicates. (*, &, # p <0.05).
