Identification of Reference Genes in Human Myelomonocytic Cells for Gene Expression Studies in Altered Gravity

Figure 4

Heatmaps for highly conserved ABC transporters. The fluorescent intensity levels of the 47 ABC transporter genes shown in supplementary Table 2 were quantified for the different gravity conditions. Each gene is represented in one column, and each gravity condition is represented in one row. (a) μg, 1 g, H/W, and 1.8 g (19th DLR PFC) and (b) μg, BL, and H/W (TEXUS-49). The heatmaps show large variation in fluorescence intensities for the different genes. However, within the same gene, expression levels are mostly similar for all tested conditions. The lower bar with the graduated red colors is the measure for the different fluorescence intensities.
