Quantitative PCR (qPCR) validates crystallin gene expression changes across the maternal immune activation (MIA) models. The expression of nine genes was tested (crystallin αA (cryaa), crystallin γB/C/A (crygb/c/a), crystallin γC/A (crygc/a), crystallin βB1 (crybb1), crystallin βA2 (cryba2), crystallin βB3 (crybb3), crystallin βA1 (cryba1), crystallin βA4 (cryba4), crystallin αB (cryab)) on pools of RNA derived from the three MIA treatments. The X axis denotes average log 2 ratios reported by microarrays, whereas the ddCt qPCR values are plotted on the Y axis. Note that the qPCR and microarray-reported expression changes are highly correlated across the three MIA models.
