MIS-C RNA immune gene expression data

Quantitative PCR results for 80 immune genes of interest from patients with multisystem inflammatory syndrome in children (MIS-C) and other controls: healthy non-inflammatory paediatric controls, Kawasaki disease, lupus, and other inflammatory conditions. Data is presented as 1/deltaCT values computed for each transcript relative to mean of three reference transcripts (<em>ACTR3</em>, <em>CDC42</em>, <em>USF2</em>). Transcripts of interest were pre-amplified using a pool of 96 TaqMan primer-probe assays. Pre-amplified cDNA, along with an internal positive control and a no-template (water) control, and the 96 primer-probe assays, were loaded into a microfluidic 96.96 Gene Expression Integrated Fluidic Circuit (Fluidigm) and gene expression of individual transcripts was then quantified by quantitative real time PCR performed on a BioMark HD (Fluidigm) instrument. The following parameters were applied for extracting cycle threshold (CT) values: Linear (Derivative) baseline correction, Quality Threshold of 0.3 and Auto (Global) for Ct Threshold Method using Fluidigm software version 4.5.2. <br> <strong>Column headings and descriptions</strong> A1 - Sample_code - deidentified sample identifier B1 - Disease_group - disease group (healthy control, juvenile systemic lupus erythematosus, Kawasaki disease, inflammatory (sepsis) control, or MIS-C C1 - Treatment - treatment by the timepoint (none, or various combinations of IVIG and/or medrol) D1 - Treat_time_(hrs_since_1st_treatment) - time in hours since the first treatment (described in C1) E1-CF1 - [gene names] - expression of the gene name indicated in the column heading <br>
