cDNA microarray assay of lymph node biopsies diagnosed as lymphoma or as reactive tissue. Homo sapiens

Gene expression profiling of biopsied human lymph node (LN) tissue comparing each patient sample against mobilised peripheral blood stem cells (PBSC), the reference channel Evaluate whether gene expression microarray can diagnose lymph node biopsies as reactive or as one of three main types of lymphoma: classical Hodgkin’s lymphoma (cHL), diffuse large B cell lymphoma (DLBCL) or follicular lymphoma (FL). Overall design: Two condition experiment, LN vs mobilised PBSC, 116 cases assayed, 1 replicate per array
