PBGD-positive picked samples | TNF-α-positive picked samples | NOSII-positive picked samples | PBGD threshold cycle CT ± SEM | |
---|---|---|---|---|
Control lung | 42 /61 | 5 /28 | 0 /33 | 37.02 ± 0.40 |
Stimulated lung 1 | 37 /68 | 17 /47 | 8 /21 | 37.18 ± 0.22 |
Stimulated lung 2 | 42 /85 | 17 /35 | 16 /50 | 37.24 ± 0.21 |
Per sample 15 AM profiles were picked, and the number of samples positive for the investigated mRNA is given in relation to the total number of samples (= efficiency rate). The threshold cycles (CT) for PBGD mRNA varied only slightly, thus confirming the presence of similar amounts of mRNA within the samples.
