† "Fold change," top number is the relative expression of RARβ2 transduced cells/empty vector control cells from Agilent arrays. The number in parentheses is the relative expression of the same cells from qRT-PCR analysis, normalized by respective qRT-PCR RPLP0 expression.
NC = differential expression was not confirmed by qRT-PCR
§ Genes in the cancer/testis antigen superfamily
* Shares significant overlapping sequence within their respective 60 mer probes, differing by 2–3 nucleotides
** MAGEA2 60 mer probe shares significant sequence identity with MAGEA-3, -6, and -12 (differs by 1–2 nucleotides)
