Figure 6.
Correlation analysis of primary culture mRNA levels (with suffix qPCR) and concentration (with suffix ELISA) of various cytokines. Illustrated is the correlation of the mRNA levels and concentration of the investigated markers with one another, with age, hearing class, and Koos grade in 45 patients and with tumor volume in 44 patients. The correlation coefficient r is displayed in each panel. Areas plotted blue (p < 0.05) indicate significant positive correlations. Non-significant correlations are plotted uncolored. p-values of correlations were FDR-corrected for multiple comparisons.
