The expression level of each gene in Tie2⁺ is indicated as fold-change versus Tie2⁻ or CD14⁺ tot. The values were calculated using the two most stable reference genes (UBC and GAPDH).

ΔCq is used to represent the expression level of each gene compared to the others in each cell type (approximately the lower the ΔCq the higher the expression level). The ΔCq of each gene was calculated using UBC as reference gene.

Each data point represents the average of 2 technical replicates of the same sample.
