Gene expression in ectocervical tissue explants.

N-fold change in gene expression measured in ectocervical explants incubated with indomethacin (indo) 10μM (gray), and seminal plasma (SP) 50% without (red) or with (brown) indomethacin for 4 or 12 h, compared to donor-matched explants incubated with culture medium (CM) (n = 7), followed by an additional 12 h-incubation with medium only. Bars indicate median values. Asterisks denote a significant difference with CM (Wilcoxon signed rank test, p<0.05).
