Thymosin beta4 was expressed at high levels in pancreas cancer cell lines and in primary cultures of normal pancreas, but not in normal pancreas tissue.
In plain wordsIn lab cells, the body's own thymosin beta4 was high in pancreas cancer cells and cultured normal pancreas cells, but not in normal pancreas tissue.

those corresponding to genes expressed at high levels both in tumor cell lines and in primary cultures of normal pancreas, but not in normal tissue (i.e. thymosin beta4(3), cytokeratin 18, beta-actin, pyruvate kinase and mitochondrial genes)
1 context sentence(design, population, supporting numbers)
We have used subtractive hybridization to isolate cDNAs overexpressed in SK-PC-1 pancreas cancer cells.
This result measures the body's own Thymosin beta-4 (human). Nobody was given the peptide. It is not evidence about taking it.
