Transcription profiling of peripheral blood from stable and acute rejection pediatric kidney transplant patients.

ABSTRACT: Full title: Expression data from whole blood gene expression analysis of stable and acute rejection pediatric kidney transplant patients Tissues are often made up of multiple cell-types. Blood, for example, contains many different cell-types, each with its own functional attributes and molecular signature. In humans, because of its accessibility and immune functionality, blood cells have been used as a source for RNA-based biomarkers for many diseases. Yet, the proportions of any given cell-type in the blood can vary markedly, even between normal individuals. This results in a significant loss of sensitivity in gene expression studies of blood cells and great difficulty in identifying the cellular source of any perturbations. Ideally, one would like to perform differential expression an
