Figure Lengend Snippet: Fig. 1. LAIR1 mRNA and protein levels are reduced in placentas from women with early onset preeclampsia or small for gestational age. (A) LAIR1 mRNA expression was significantly reduced in placentas from women with early onset preeclampsia (blue triangles, n = 78), compared to gestation matched controls (black dots, n = 30). (B) LAIR1 mRNA expression was significantly reduced in placentas from women who delivered an infant small for gestational age (SGA; <10th birthweight centile, red diamonds, n = 32) compared to gestation matched controls (black dots, n = 30). (C) LAIR1 protein expression was significantly reduced in placentas from women with early onset preeclampsia (blue triangles, n = 43), compared to gestation matched controls (black dots, n = 21). (D) LAIR1 protein expression was significantly reduced in placentas from women who delivered an SGA infant (red diamonds, n = 10) compared to gestation matched controls (black dots, n = 21). Data points represent individual patients. Data are presented as box and whisker plot. **P < 0.01, ****P < 0.0001.
Article Snippet: Levels of LAIR1 in plasma and protein lysates were quantified using the Human LAIR1 DuoSet ELISA kit (DY2664–05, R&D System, Minnesota, USA) according to the manufacturer’s instructions.
