Real time RT-PCR confirmation of microarray results.
(A) Relative mRNA expression levels of selected genes from the first 5 canonical pathways (see Fig. 1B) in RPE/choroid from young and old animals. (B) Comparison of the fold changes of the same selected genes determined by microarray analysis and real-time RT-PCR. LES, leukocyte extravasation signaling; CC, complement cascade; NKCS, natural killer cell signaling; ILS, IL-10 signaling; BCRS, B cell receptor signaling.
