Genes differentially expressed in peripheral blood leukocytes by microarray analysis in subjects with asthma compared with healthy control subjects.

This table shows the results of adhesion molecules expression spectrum of peripheral blood leukocytes assayed by cDNA microassay. The expression spectrum of 4 normal adults from the control and 6 asthma patients was examined respectively. Those whose gene expressions were increased over 2 times were regarded as up-regulated genes, and those whose gene expressions were decreased over 0.5 times were regarded as down-regulated genes. In comparson of asthma patients with the normal control group, there are 3 up-regulated genes and 14 down-regulated genes.
