Gene expression results in lipopolysaccharide-stimulated monocytes depend significantly on the choice of reference genes.
1 Jan 2010
Abstract excerpt
BACKGROUND: Gene expression in lipopolysaccharide (LPS)-stimulated monocytes is mainly studied by quantitative real-time reverse transcription PCR (RT-qPCR) using GAPDH (glyceraldehyde 3-phosphate dehydrogenase) or ACTB (beta-actin) as reference gene for normalization. Expression of traditional reference genes has been shown to vary substantially under certain conditions leading to invalid results. To investigate...
