Figure 3From: The use of nano-sized acicular material, sliding friction, and antisense DNA oligonucleotides to silence bacterial genesGene silencing effects of antisense DNA oligonucleotides (LacZ15, 90) on β-galactosidase activity in Escherichia coli JM109 (pUC18). (A) Values indicate the means ± standard deviation of three independent experiments. (B) Comparison of β-galactosidase band intensity on SDS-PAGE gels from E. coli bearing or lacking antisense DNA (LacZ15, 90). The peak area indicates the intensity of Coomassie-stained protein bands that correspond to β-galactosidase.Back to article page
