Identification of Endogenous Controls for Analyzing Serum Exosomal miRNA in Patients with Hepatitis B or Hepatocellular Carcinoma

Figure 2

Expression of candidate reference genes in circulating exosomes. RT-qRCR analyses were performed on serum exosomal miRNAs. The box plot graphs of the Ct values for each reference gene illustrate the interquartile range (box) and median. The whisker plot depicts the range of the values. Circles indicate outliers. (a) All the studied samples. (b) Hepatitis B patients and age- and gender-matched healthy volunteers. (c) HCC patients and age- and gender-matched control individuals.
