A Quantitative Comparison of Cell-Type-Specific Microarray Gene Expression Profiling Methods in the Mouse Brain (original) (raw)
Figure 3
PAN samples show moderately heightened expression of (A) immediate early genes, (B) apoptosis-related genes, and (C) stress-responsive genes, however overall global trends are comparable for most samples.
For each heat map, the replicate-averaged log2 microarray signal intensity (normalized) for each cell type (columns) is presented for all genes (rows) in a given category. Horizontal axis labels and vertical lines indicate purification method groups. (D) Average mean signal intensity for each method and each gene category. Asterisks indicate which means were significantly different from the lowest means (Tukey's post-hoc test, p<0.05).
