Intensity data and Cy5/Cy3 ratio (raw) data were obtained for individual microarray features at each scan time using the Axon GenePix Pro software. LOWESS normalization was performed on the ratio data. The data shown are correlations (r-values) of the raw or normalized data at each scan interval compared to the 0-minute scan interval.
