<h4>Purpose</h4>Temporal lobe epilepsy (TLE) is a multifactorial disease often involving the hippocampus. So far the etiology of the disease has remained elusive. In some pharmacoresistant TLE patients the hippocampus is surgically resected as treatment. To investigate the involvement of the immune system in human TLE, we performed large-scale gene expression profiling on this human hippocampal tissue.<h4>Methods</h4>Microarray analysis was performed on hippocampal specimen from TLE patients wit ...[more]
