Isolation and Expression Profiling of Genes Upregulated in the Peripheral Blood Cells of Systemic Lupus Erythematosus Patients
1 Jan 2005
Abstract excerpt
We have identified the genes whose expressions are augmented in the blood cells of the patients with systemic lupus erythematosus (SLE) using the 'stepwise subtraction' technique along with microarray analysis. The expression levels of these genes were assessed by quantitative real-time reverse transcription polymerase chain reaction (RT-PCR) in 31 SLE patients and 30 healthy controls. We found that the...
