  1. The normalized copy number of the Cd-treated samples was compared to the normalized copy number of the untreated samples for pMN85 (PTK-Fluc) and pMN86 (MRE-PTK-Fluc) providing values for the fold induction of the Cd-directed Fluc expression for each of the reference genes (Rluc, B2M and ActB).
