  1. 9 of these (noted in bold) were differentially expressed between the IB4+ and IB4- neurons; these were further investigated using qRT-PCR. Underlined genes were expressed at relatively high levels (compared to array housekeeping genes) but did not differ in expression between the IB4+ vs the IB4- cells, and were therefore not subject to qRT-PCR analysis.
