Spectrum of Cytokine Gene Expression in Intestinal Mucosal Lesions of Crohn’s Disease and Ulcerative Colitis
1 Jan 1998
Abstract excerpt
BACKGROUND/AIMS: We investigated the mRNA expression of spectrum of cytokines in the colonic mucosa in inflammatory bowel disease (IBD). METHODS: The expression of cytokine gene was evaluated by using the reverse transcription-polymerase chain reaction and the radioactivity of amplified cDNA standardized by coamplified beta-actin cDNA. RESULTS: Crohn's disease and ulcerative colitis showed significantly increased...
