Differentially Expressed Salivary Proteins in Dental Caries Patients

Figure 2

Zymographic analysis of saliva: (a) gelatin zymogram and (b) casein zymogram of pooled saliva sample of controls and dental caries patients. Lanes left to right showed increasing concentration of controls and diseased (caries) samples. On the left side of each gels, apparent molecular weights of proteases were mentioned. (c) Bar graph for protease activity area comparison on the basis of band intensity of gelatin zymogram (80 kDa band) and (d) casein zymogram (115, 80, 70 kDa, respectively). Red circles represent activity regions used for intensity. (L) Molecular weight marker.
