Differential Display and minimizing false positives

Hello,
I am preparing to try differential display (dd) with treated and
untreated cells to look for differences in gene expression. I have
performed two exact cell experiments in parallel where I have treated
the cells (experiment A consists of treated and untreated cells and B
the same). My question is: Do you think it is best (for minimizing
false positives) to perform dd on experiment A RNA with duplicates
(ie; dd with treated and untreated twice) or with experiment A RNA and
B RNA (the parallel experiment) ? I guess I'm not sure if I should
stick with one set of RNA and perform dupes or use/compare RNA from a
different (parallel) experiment. Any suggestions ?
Thanks,
Doug
