Figure 4From: The molecular signature of therapeutic mesenchymal stem cells exposes the architecture of the hematopoietic stem cell niche synapseValidation of microarray results. (a) Microarray levels (grey bars) represent the signal intensity of probe-sets corresponding to the same gene (averaged when more than one present). qRT-PCR data (black bars) are obtained utilizing a GAPDH standard curve. Relative expression levels with respect to those of MSCs are shown. (b) Correlation between microarray (X axis) and qRT-PCR (Y axis) expression values (fold-differences versus MSCs). triangles = Spp1, circles = Fn1, diamonds = Thbs1, squares = Thbs2, violet = Heart, red = Brain, yellow = Lung, rose = Kidney, orange = DCs, green = MEFs, tan = NSCs, grey = T cells, blue = ESCs, gold = Muscle, turqoise = Liver.Back to article page
