Figure 4From: Validation of reference genes for quantitative real-time PCR studies in the dentate gyrus after experimental febrile seizuresInfluence of reference genes selected for normalization on the expression profile of Cnr1 one week after FS induction. Cnr1 expression levels were normalized by geometric averaging of three (A) or four (B) stably expressed genes as identified by geNorm and Normfinder. 18S rRNA and ActB, indicated by geNorm and Normfinder as the least stable genes, are used for normalization of Cnr1 expression data (C). Normothermia controls (n = 9); FS+, hyperthermia with febrile seizures (n = 7). Data are presented as mean ± SEM. *, P < 0,05; analyzed using a Mann–Whitney test.Back to article page
