A common genetic mechanism underlying susceptibility to posttraumatic stress disorder

Figure 2 Ensuring quality of the microdissected neural RNA samples. For the 28S and 18S rRNA species/bands, a Bioanalyzer Model 2001 was used to examine the quality of the RNA sample derived from the neurons collectively harvested from the hippocampus (Figure 1D and E). Lane L: The RNA ladder; lanes 1-4: Non-sample controls; lanes 5-11: Electrophoretic profiles of RNA from multiple tubes of cells collected via laser-assisted microdissection; lane 7: The sample to be degraded and was excluded from further evaluation.
