Expression data from human platelets after purification
Ontology highlight
ABSTRACT: Platelets are small anucleate cells derived from the fragmentation of megakaryocytes and are involved in different biological processes especially hemostasis, thrombosis and immune response. Platelet purification is a crucial step in transcriptomic analysis, and researchers usually encounter the problem of platelet contamination by leukocytes and erythrocytes. Leukocytes contain much more RNA than platelets, thus the presence of few contaminants in platelet preparation can strongly alter transcriptome results. Using microarray technique, we compared transcriptome of platelets from the same donor, purified by common centrifugation method or using magnetic microbeads to eliminate contaminating cells.
