Monitoring BCR-ABL transcript levels by real-time quantitative polymerase chain reaction: a linear regression equation to convert from BCR-ABL/B2M ratio to estimated BCR-ABL/ABL ratio
In order to overcome the problem of different control genes for BCR-ABL normalization, we used a linear regression equation to compare our results previously obtained using B2M as the control gene with those calculated using the ABL gene and validated the slope as a factor to convert from B2M to ABL results.
