From: Normalizing to GADPH jeopardises correct quantification of gene expression in ovarian tumours – IPO8 and RPL4 are reliable reference genes

Figure 4

UPAR mRNA assayed and normalized to IPO8, RPL4, GADPH, and HPRT1 mRNA. Ovarian tumours were sub-grouped according to the histological malignant potential as benign (BE, n = 9), borderline (BO, n = 11) and malignant (MA, n = 21). uPAR mRNA content was higher in BO/MA than in BE when related to IPO8 (p = 0.003) and RPL4 (p = 0.001) (A, B). No significant differences were found in the amount of uPAR mRNA when it was normalized to GADPH or HPRT1 mRNA (C, D).
