Gene expression profiles in nineteen Kawasaki Disease (KD) patients before and after intravenous immunoglobulin (IVIG) treatment. Homo sapiens

In this study, we compared global gene expressions between pre- and post- intravenous immunoglobulin (IVIG) administration in nineteen Kawasaki disease (KD) patients. Peripheral blood mononuclear cells (PBMCs) obtained from nineteen patients before and after IVIG treatment was extracted using a PAXgene blood RNA isolation kit. Amplified cRNAs of each patient were analyzed using with Agilent Whole Human Genome Microarray 4x44K G4112F array. Overall design: Nineteen pair of dye-swapped experiments were performed.
