Fig 1: Different expression levels of HSPAs in HVL and LVL patients. CD4+ T cells from PBMC of 70 patients were isolated and harvested for RNA and protein lysate preparation. (A) Analyzing and comparing the different HSPA isoforms (including HSPA2, HSPA5, HSPA6, HSPA7, HSPA8, HSPA9, HSPA13 and HSPA14) transcription levels between the LVL and HVL patients by qRT-PCR. (B) Comparing the different HSPA isoforms protein levels between the LVL and HVL patients by western blot and densitometry analysis. Significance is defined as NS: P>0.05, *P ≤ 0.05, **P ≤ 0.01 and ***P ≤ 0.001.
