Table 2.

Oligonucleotide primer sequences and PCR conditions for α-integrin subunits. Primers were designed to the published human sequences in areas of high inter-species homology. Primers for α1- and α2-integrins were taken from Jobling et al. [30] and are tree shrew specific. The optimized PCR conditions are presented in the table with most amplifications using a 40 cycle protocol, except for the α4-, α6-, α7-, and α8-integrin subunits, where a 45 cycle protocol was used.
