Basal TLR, IRF7, and MyD88 gene expression in skin biopsies as determined by real time RT-PCR. White bars represent pretreatment AK, black bars represent during imiquimod treatment (maximum response value from week 1, week 2 and week 4 treatment times), and hatched bars represent 4-weeks post treatment. Relative copy number was determined as outlined in Methods and Materials section. Asterisks indicate those genes that had p-values < 0.05 in the ANOVA, comparing expression in pretreatment AK samples to the maximum response expression in samples from subjects (n = 13) during imiquimod treatment.
