Immunoblotting analysis of RANKL in bone tissue samples: representative immunoblots are shown (a) and quantified using β-actin as a loading control. The bar graphs of the total content of RANKL (b), its membrane-bound (c) and soluble (d) forms are shown as arithmetic means ± SEM (n = 6/group): 1 – bone tissue of healthy persons (control group); 2 – bone tissue, that was taken near the healthy tooth in patients with tooth impaction; 3 – bone tissue, collected near the impacted tooth. Experiments were performed in triplicate and *p < 0.05 denotes significance compared with control, #p < 0.05 denotes significance compared with bone tissue taken near the healthy tooth in patients with tooth impaction
