Table 3 Control genes ranked in order of their expression stability^*

From: Accurate normalization of real-time quantitative RT-PCR data by geometric averaging of multiple internal control genes

Neuroblastoma	Fibroblast	Leukocyte	Bone marrow	Normal pool
B2M	HMBS	ACTB	ACTB	B2M
RPL13A	B2M	HMBS	B2M	ACTB
ACTB	RPL13A	HPRT1	HMBS	YWHAZ
TBP	SDHA	SDHA	TBP	RPL13A
YWHAZ	TBP	TBP	SDHA	UBC
HMBS	ACTB	RPL13A	GAPD	TBP
UBC	UBC	GAPD	HPRT1	HPRT1
SDHA	YWHAZ	B2M	YWHAZ	HMBS
HPRT1 - GAPD	HPRT1 - GAPD	UBC - YWHAZ	UBC - RPL13A	SDHA - GAPD

^*Increasing from top to bottom; the two most stable control genes in each cell type, for example HPRT1 and GAPD in fibroblasts, cannot be ranked in order because of the required use of gene ratios for gene-stability measurements.
