Table 5 Expression stability of endogenous standard genes under non-normalised conditions After 3 hours of stimulation with LPS, PBMC from healthy donors were split in 2 identical aliquots and total cellular RNA was extracted at 2 days interval. The same volume of RNA was reverse transcribed and β2-MG, UBC and YWHAZ transcripts were amplified by real time PCR using CyProQuant-PCR technique. Results show the mean values obtained for the 2 extractions in arbitrary units.
