The first level of normalisation addressed inter-array variation in overall image intensity principally brought about by differences in sample DNA concentration.
A second level of normalisation was used to address differential PCR amplification efficiency of individual probes between sample and reference amplifications, and adjusted the ratio for individual probes to the mean ratio among unaffected controls.
Additionally, subjects with elevated baseline CRP and ESR showed a trend towards a reduction of circulating CRP levels or normalisation of ESR at least once within the first 4 weeks after administration.
This has been confirmed in an experimental study of cardiac tamponade by Zhang et al. [10], which showed that resolution of the supply-dependent state of oxygen consumption by resolving the tamponade was associated with an increase in oxygen consumption to baseline levels and normalisation of lactate levels.

Treatment with doses of cholecalciferol, equivalent to 3,300 IU/day, was required to achieve levels of 25OHD that enabled normalisation of serum calcium, phosphate and ALP.
Declines in PSA were frequently associated with symptomatic improvement, reduction in serum alkaline phosphatase levels, normalisation of elevated lactate dehydrogenase levels and partial responses by RECIST, with several patients reducing or discontinuing analgesic (including opiate) use.
Evidence of response was documented exclusively on the basis of PSA levels: Complete response: Normalisation of PSA (less than 4.0 ng ml, Hybritech).
The normalisation based on polyA RNA is similar to the use of the expression levels of all genes for a normalisation in microarray experiments.
To calculate the absolute EGFR level in the cell, two steps of normalisation were applied.
