  1. NP specific marker genes. Genes identified by NP vs AC and AF microarray comparison. Mean fluorescence intensity is shown for each cell type (AC, AF and NP) along with the mean combined intensity for AC and AF cells and the calculated fold change values (positive and negative) between NP and AC and AF cells that were greater than 100. Highlighted in bold are genes that were taken forward for qRT-PCR and italicised are genes that were identified in previous studies [23,24]. AC, articular cartilage; AF, annulus fibrosus; NP, nucleus pulposus; qRT-PCR, quantitative real time polymerase chain reaction.
