  1. * used more than one normalization gene (GAPDH and 18 S RNA)
  2. Table#1: Literature searches were conducted through PubMed Central http://www.pubmed.com. Representative manuscripts were selected which used quantitative real time PCR (RT-qPCR) or semi-quantitative PCR analyses for the analysis of gene expression in human bone marrow derived adult stem cells or classical MSC to determine commonly used normalization "housekeeping" genes.
