Figure 2

Relative mRNA expression levels of different SCGBs in sinonasal mucosa. The relative expression levels are expressed as ΔCT (ΔCT = the difference in threshold cycles for target and GAPDH). This is a direct reflection of amount of input of target mRNA, and a change of CT value of 1 unit is equal to a doubling, or halving, of the level of target mRNA. The higher the ΔCT value, the lower the level of target mRNA. In control group, n = 16; in chronic rhinosinusitis without nasal polyps (CRSsNP) group, n = 20; and in chronic rhinosinusitis with nasal polyps (CRSwNP) group, n = 20. Results are presented as mean ± SD.
