Comparison of mRNA expression in circulating T-cells...

mRNA samples were collected from circulating CD4+ and CD8+ T-cells from healthy donors as well as donors with severe and non-severe asthma.

Expression data from peripheral blood - blood draws...

Blood was collected immediately prior to, and two hours after challengeThe change in gene expression (post expression minus pre expression) in ERs was compared with the change in gene expression in DRs using age and sex as covariatesPreprocessing and probeset filtering were applied to the entire dataset (28 CEL files) using the Factor Analysis for Robust MicroArray Summarization (farms) package in RThe Linear Models for MicroArrays (limma) package was used to determine differential gene expre...

Upper airway gene expression is an effective surroga...

Upper airway (nasal) and lower airway (bronchial) epithelial brushings obtained from a cohort of 54 allergic asthmatics and 30 matched healthy controls were profiled by gene expression by microarray. Subjects were assayed for gene expression, serum total IgE, blood eosinophils and serum periostin.

Nasal scrape gene expression profiling in asthmatics

Nasal scrape samples were collected from asthmatics and healthy controls and subjected to expression profiling using Affymetrix HG-U133Plus2.0 microarrays.

Sputum gene expression profiling in asthmatics

Sputum samples were collected from asthmatics and healthy controls and subjected to expression profiling using Affymetrix HG-U133Plus2.0 microarrays.

A sputum gene expression signature of six biomarkers...

Gene expression profiles were generated from induced sputum samples from 47 asthma patients and were grouped by the inflammatory phenotype assigned using sputum cell counts into neutrophilic asthma (n=12), eosinophilic asthma (n=17) and paucigranulocytic asthma (n=18). RNA was extracted, amplified and hybridised to Illumina Sentrix HumanRef-8 Version 2 Expression BeadChips, and genes that were differentially expressed between asthma inflammatory phenotypes were compared.

Asthmatics with exacerbation during acute respirator...

Upon the onset of ‘common cold’, volunteers were instructed to attend the first of three required visits to the study clinic. The first and second visits were designed to obtain samples and clinical data during the early and late stages of symptomatic illness respectively, whereas the third visit would occur when volunteers were asymptomatic and serve as a prospective baseline (BL) for the study.

Expression data from airway epithelial cells from pa...

17 subjects were included in a cross-sectional study (6 allergic asthma and allergic rhinitis; 5 allergic rhinitis; 6 healthy controls). RNA was extracted from isolated and cultured epithelial cells from bronchial brushes and nasal biopsies, and analyzed by microarray (Affymetrix U133+ PM Genechip Array).
