Project description:Our goal was to find correlations between gene expression patterns and impaired vascular pathophysiolgy in rheumatoid arthritis Patients with rheumatoid arthritis were recruited and venous blood samples were collected, then peripheral blood mononuclear cells were separated. After RNA isoltaion, we used Affymetrix PrimeView arrays to obtain whole gene expression data.
Project description:We report changes in gene expression that take place in human neutrophils following migration from peripheral blood to synovial joints in patients with rheumatoid arthritis
Project description:Paired synovial and peripheral blood CD14+ cells were obtained from patients with active rheumatoid arthritis and compared to each other
