Array analysis and RT-PCR verification. (A) Heat map generated by TM4 SAM analysis with genes verified by PCR highlighted. (B) Semi-quantitative PCR analysis of candidate genes from array data and control GAPDH and 18S, and embryonic hemoglobin transcripts (pan-globin) in cDNAs from both E4 and E6 RBC and nRBC fractions. (C) QPCR data. All genes tested had significantly higher expression in nRBCs by Student's T-test (except for CD51). Hemoglobins are the only genes with significantly higher expression in RBCs. E4 data: left-hand bars, E6 data: right-hand bars.
