Figure 1From: The differentiation status of primary gonadal germ cell tumors correlates inversely with telomerase activity and the expression level of the gene encoding the catalytic subunit of telomeraseQuantification of hTERT mRNA (â– ) in germ cell tumor samples by real-time RT PCR. Quantification of PBGD mRNA (x) served as a reference for relative quantification. The copy numbers of the starting template were calculated by comparing the relative fluorescence signals of samples to external hTERT mRNA standards. X axis: cycle number, Y axis: fluorescence emission; Tissue specimen with NhTERT = 85,2 copies. Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Back to article page
