Description | - Study Type: Natural Infection |
Purpose | Using PAXgene tubes, peripheral blood samples were collected from seven patients >18 years with documented pdm(H1N1) influenza, bilateral chest infiltrates, and in need of ventilation support. Significant co-morbidity was exclusion criterion. Expression profiles were compared with 7 age matched controls. Using a false discovery rate < 5% and an absolute fold change > 2, 370 genes were differentially expressed in case and controls.A second sample was collected after ca 6 days in the 7 patients and temporal changes in expression profiles investigated. Over expressed putative mediators of inflammatory lung dammage were measured on the protein level. |
Experimental Design | 14 patient samples (7 paired samples) and 7 control samples were performed. |
