Table 1.

Oligonucleotide primer sequences and PCR conditions for β-integrin subunits. Primers were designed to the published human sequences in areas of high inter-species homology. The primer sequence for the β1-integrin subunit was taken from Jobling et al. [30] and is tree shrew specific. The optimized PCR conditions are presented in the table with most subunit amplifications using a 40 cycle protocol, except for the β2 and β5-integrin subunits, where a 35 cycle protocol was used.
