Table 1.

Details of primer sequences for the qPCR assays. For each gene, the NCBI accession number of the mRNA reference sequence (Ref Seq mRNA; rDNA for the 28S ribosomal gene) used for primer design is reported. Gene-specific nucleotide sequences are reported as forward (sense) and reverse (antisense) primers on the 5′-3′ direction. For each primer pair, the expected amplicon length is reported (PCR product size) as base pairs (bp). Human genes are listed with the official symbols/aliases.
