Broad Up-Regulation of Innate Defense Factors during Acute Cholera

We used a whole-genome microarray screening system (Affymetrix human GeneChips covering 47,000 different transcripts) to examine the gene expression in duodenal mucosa during acute cholera. Biopsies were taken from the duodenal mucosa of seven cholera patients 2 and 30 days after the onset of diarrhea, and the gene expression patterns in the acute- and convalescent-phase samples were compared pairwise.
