The E-AFMX-5 experiment with a transcription profile for different human tissues shows some interesting results. The MEST-gene is expressed at low levels in most of the tissues but alot more in: Cilliary ganglion, fetal lung, placenta (highest), trigeminal ganglion. The statistic accuracy of the experiment is not very good, many tissues only got samples from two patients.
In the E-TABM-40 experiment different immunocells have ben profiled. The MEST gene is expressenin all of them, the highest level is found in naive CD8-cells
In the E-MEXP-18 experiment several celllines and tissues are profiled. The MEST-expression is highest in CD34-cells, both hemapoetical and developed versions, dorsal root ganglion, placenta (highest) and umbillical endothelial cells.
