From: A longitudinal study of gene expression in healthy individuals
Comparison of 95% confidence intervals of mRNA levels during an infection, at recovery, and at all other time points (qRT-PCR study). A comparison of mRNA levels (in terms of Ct units) for 12 genes in 18 subjects who experienced an infection during the course of the study. Confidence intervals were obtained from estimates of mRNA levels during the three events using a mixed model that accounted for intra-individual correlation between observations. The y-axis has been reversed to reflect that mRNA levels are higher for lower values of Ct.
