We established a novel method, Gene Expression Profiling via Multigene Concatemers (MgC-GEP), to study multigene expression patterns simultaneously. This method consists of the following steps: (1) cD
1Amplification was performed in a GeneAmp 9700 PCR System (Applied Biosystems) by a 10 min incubation at 95°C, followed by 45 cycles of 301 s. at 95°C, 45 s. at 60°C and 60 s. at 72°C. The program was
