Figure S2. CD144+ T cells were isolated from UCB and AB samples and stimulated as described (JPG, 58.9 KB) - Whole cell lysates from 5 samples of each type were pooled and separated via centrifugation through a 10−50% sucrose gradient and fractions collected. Each fraction was spiked with a consistent quantity of non-interfering mouse RNA to control for RNA recovery. Human NFATc2 and Mouse GAPDH were assayed via quantitative RTPCR for each fraction as described. NFATc2 expression was expressed relative to the mouse GAPDH and each data point presented as relative to the highest NFATc2-expressing fraction.
