Table 4 Comprehensive ranking of RGs based on data obtained from different experimental conditions. (ASAC; all strains, all conditions. LOG/STAT; LOG/STAT cultures. LOG; only LOG cultures. HS; heat shock cultures. OS; oxidative stress with H2O2. EN; encysting cultures. Neff; strain Neff LOG/STAT/HS/OS/EN data combined).

From: Validation of reference genes for the normalization of RT-qPCR gene expression in Acanthamoeba spp.
