Focal Distribution of Hepatitis C Virus RNA in Infected Livers (original) (raw)
Figure 2
Correlation between HCV RNA and activation of IFNβ and ISGs.
The Ct values for HCV, IFNβ, Mx1 and IFIT1 obtained from real-time qRT-PCR were plotted in different combinations as indicated. Ctn represents Ct values that were normalized with the Ct for albumin to account for the difference in cell number on each frozen section used for RNA isolation. Note, that Ct values and concentration of RNA are inversely related and that a difference of 1 in the Ct value corresponds to a two-fold difference in concentration.
