Identification of IVIg regulated genes in human peripheral blood mononuclear cells from Common Variable Immunodeficiency patients (CVID) [PMBC]

Identification of IVIg regulated genes in human PBMC by gene expression analysis before and after IVIg infusion in CVID patients. Human peripheral blood mononuclear cells from four independent CVID patients were isolated before and after IVIg treatment.Total RNA from each condition was extracted and purified using the RNA isolation kit (Macheray-Nagel). Labelled RNA was used as hybridization probes on human Agilent-072363 SurePrint G3 Human Gene Expression v3 8x60K (G4851C). All experimental procedures were performed following manufacturer instructions. Microarrays were scanned on an Agilent G2539A scanner. Scanned images and raw data were pre-processed with GeneSpring GX (Agilent).
