Figure 2

Comparison of yield and RNA integrity number (RIN) of RNA isolated from whole blood samples. (a,b) Comparison of (a) yield and (b) RIN of RNA among protocols P-37, P-Al, N-37, and N-Al. Data are shown as mean ± standard deviation (n = 7). *p < 0.05 (two-way analysis of variance) for (a) NucleoSpin versus PAXgene, or (b) thawing in a water bath versus thawing on an aluminum block. (c,d) Comparison of (c) yield and (d) RIN of RNA among protocols N-37, N-Al, and N-Ice. *p < 0.05 (repeated-measures analysis of variance with Bonferroni correction) for N-37 versus N-Al. n.s. not significant.
