In rat B104 neuroblastoma cells, thymosin beta‑4 was coexpressed with beta-10, but retinoic acid stimulated only the thymosin beta-10 gene.
In plain wordsIn rat nerve tumor cells, retinoic acid raised thymosin beta-10 but not the cell's own thymosin beta‑4.

Source sentences
although thymosin beta-4 and beta-10 are coexpressed in this cell line, the stimulatory action of retinoic acid is specific for the thymosin beta-10 gene
1 context sentence(design, population, supporting numbers)
A cloned thymosin beta-10 cDNA was used to study modulation of thymosin beta-10 mRNA levels in the rat B104 neuroblastoma cell line in response to retinoic acid.
This result measures the body's own Thymosin beta-4 (human). Nobody was given the peptide. It is not evidence about taking it.
