Validation of mRNA levels: The mRNA levels of ten genes (7 overexpressed in CAF, 3 overexpressed in NF) were analyzed by qRT-PCR in CAF and NF from five breast cancer patients. The results are expressed as fold difference between CAF and NF. In all but one case (BCa 8), the results were congruent with the cumulative Affymetrix data.
