Abstract excerpt
Several studies by microarray analysis and real-time polymerase chain reaction (RT-PCR) reveal that type I interferon-inducible genes (IFIGs) are implicated in systemic lupus erythematosus (SLE). To find a potential clinical biomarker capable of monitoring lupus disease activity clinically, quantitative RT-PCR was used to identify transcript expression levels of 13 type I IFIGs in peripheral blood cells in 144...
