IL-13 involvement in eosinophilic esophagitis: transcriptome analysis

3 eosinophilic esophagitis biopsies, cultured and stimulated with IL-13 : each of them was either left unstimulated or stimulated (100ng for 48h) We used microarray to uncover the IL-13-induced genes in esophageal epithelial cells of the esophagus Keywords: treated vs non treated 3 biopsies from EE patients were obtained and primary epithelial cell were cultured and either left unstimulated or stimulated with IL-13 followed by RNA extraction and hybridization on Affymetrix microarrays.
