Real-time RT-PCR analysis of selected antioxidant genes in the lungs of OVA-challenged Nrf2 +/+ and Nrf2 −/− mice. Real-time RT-PCR analysis showed increased levels of mRNA for genes such as γ GCLm, GCLc, G6PD, GST α3, GST p2, HO-1, SOD2, SOD3, and GSR in the lungs of Nrf2 + / + OVA compared with the lungs of Nrf2 − / − OVA mice and the respective saline-challenged mice. Closed bar, Nrf2 + / + mice; open bar, Nrf2 − / − mice.
