Gene Expression Analysis of Blood PBMC Response to Mycobacterium leprae antigens
Ontology highlight
ABSTRACT: 8 leprosy patients including 4 multibacillary (MB) and 4 paucibacillary (PB), and 8 non-leprosy controls including 4 healthy house contacts (HHCs) and 4 endemic controls (ECs) were included in the study. The immune response differences between leprosy patients and controls were evaluated by analyzing the transcriptional profiles of PBMCs to M. leprae sonicate antigens by RNA-seq. The analyses revealed potential biomarkers (including mRNAs and lncRNAs) preferentially expressed in PBMCs in leprosy patients that may be useful for early diagnosis of leprosy.
