Figure 5From: Comparison of different extraction techniques to profile microRNAs from human sera and peripheral blood mononuclear cellsAssessment of bias in RNA isolation from PBMCs. Assessment of bias in RNA isolation from PBMCs using the Macherey-Nagel (MN) kit, comparison of extraction from 3×106 and 1×106 cells with a same amount of RNA for RT (130 ng). A- Bland-Altman analysis 3×106 versus 1x106 cells. B- Plot of the difference in Ct values of the two conditions (x-axis) and the GC content of miRNAs detected in these two settings (y-axis). C- Plot of the difference in Ct values of the conditions 300 vs 100 ng (x-axis) and the GC content of the miRNAs detected in these two settings (y-axis). The Pearson correlation coefficient is indicated. TLDA datas from biological duplicate. Analysis using mean CT values of common miRNAs. Only miRNAs with Ct < 32 were considered.Back to article page
