Expression analysis of WT and COMP KO peritoneal macrophages elicited by thioglycollate

Investigation of whole genome gene expression level changes in COMP KO macrophages compared with WT macrophages. A two-chip study used mRNA extracted from peritoneal macrophages pooled from 6 WT and COMP KO mice individually. In each array, 44,170 genes were probed. To identify differentially expressed genes, we performed a Fold Change filtering between the two compared arrays. The threshold is Fold Change >= 2.0.
