A Schematic representation of the co-culture system used in the experiment with SV-PDL cells plated on the upper insert and OCCM-30 cells in the lower well. B, D, F The stability of top four reference genes was assessed by geNorm (n = 15) for both the direct cell–cell contact culture system (B) and the co-culture system (D, F). Lower M value predicts higher stability. C, E, G The suitable number of reference genes was determined by geNorm for bothe direct cell–cell contact culture system (C) and the co-culture system (E, G). The value of V less than the recommended cut-off of 0.15 is attained with two reference genes
