2. Fig. 1
Southern blots of SMC and EC PDGF A-chain and GAPDH mRNA amplified by RT-PCR. Aortic and graft ECs and SMCs are from a representative dog. Images are computer-enhanced. A-chain/GAPDH numbers represent the ratios of signal intensities before enhancement.

3. Fig. 2
Graph of RT-PCR results shows PDGF A-chain/GAPDH signal intensity. Graft ECs express lower levels of PDGF A-chain mRNA than aortic ECs, whereas graft SMCs consistently express higher levels than aortic SMCs.
