The theoretical values obtained provide a frame of reference for testing the validity of the results obtained by qRT-PCR for M. fortuitum.
The vehicle group was used as reference for testing significance of treatment using R version 2.15.2.
We chose PFAM as a reference for testing the performance of daTAA, because it contains the largest number of annotated TAA domains and also uses HMMER for domain assignments.
Because much of the telephone survey was based on previously validated instruments, standardized questionnaires, and/or commonplace data collection techniques, Tier I information serves as the reference for testing innovative data collection strategies used in Tiers II and III.
As a toxicologically relevant and more broadly applicable alternative, we have determined POD concentrations as reference values for test chemicals in this study (Table 6 ).
In the clinical samples, electrochemiluminescence assay was used to determined human HCG and commercial ECLIA kit (Roche Cobase 601) was the reference for CEA test.
The source is intended to serve as a calibrated reference for post test center qualification of integrated payload instruments and for preflight evaluation of scientific radiation sensors.
Assays were initially run using CEPH HapMap individuals to confirm they were functioning correctly and their genotype clusters used as a reference for the test subjects.
Following recommendations by Mitrushina et al. [ 22] individual performance was compared to age-normative data (see reference for respective test above).
