Table 1. Extent of shRNA-mediated knockdown of MRE11 and ATM as determined by quantitative real time PCR (qPCR) and western blot analysis.

		GFP-7F1	GFP-6D1	EDS-7F2	EDS-6J8
shATM	qPCR	81%	76%	89%	71%
	Western blot	90%a	70%a	85%	77%
shMRE11	qPCR	77%	74%	80%	80%
	Western blot	92%	79%	85%	77%

^aThese are approximations due to the diffuse nature of the ATM bands.
