Gene expression analysis of dendritic cells from normal or tumor sections of human prostates

Tumors cause the induction or repression of many genes associated with inflammation. To investigate the up and down regulation of genes associated with immune stimulation or immune tolerance RNA was isolated from dendritic cells from normal or tumor bearing prostate for microarray analysis. Using normal or tumorogenic sections of human prostates as determined by Pathology experts (UMD). Keywords: Comparative gene expression, prostate cancer, dendritic cells Prostatic dendritic cells were isolated from 5 patients for comparison of gene expression.
