Multiplex qPCR assays were performed containing both primer and probe sets for all four targets or primer and probe set for single target. Analysis 1 shows data from multiplex assay analyzed as multiplex where all four targets were analyzed simultaneously. Analysis 2 shows data from multiplex assay but data was analyzed as a single assay for each target. Analysis 3 shows data from single assays.
