Real-time quantitative PCR analysis of monocytes of major depressed patients [Venlafaxin study]

Human CD14 positive monocytes were purified from major depressed patients or healthy volunteer frozen PBMC. Patients were treated with venlafaxine. Responders and non-responders to venlafaxine were recorded after 6 weeks of treatment qPCR gene expression profiling. Monocytes prior to treatment were used for qPCR analysis. Details of patient selection, monocyte preparation, recording of patient data can be found in Gara Arteaga Henríquez et al, Frontiers of Psychiatry, 2019
