  1. The values represent the average and SD of three independent experiments.
  2. The P value of an unpaired Student’s t-test comparing the doubling time values for BF 427 and dKO TbMrf1 1wk, BF 427 and dKO TbMrf1 7wk and dKO TbMrf1 1wk and 7wk are as follows: p < 0.001, p = 0.001 and p = 0.02, respectively.
