RNA-seq of peripheral blood mononuclear cell (PBMC) derived from normal healthy donors and multiple myeloma (MM) patients

ABSTRACT: Multiple myeloma (MM), also known as plasma cell myeloma, is a cancer of plasma cells, a type of white blood cell normally responsible for producing antibodies. There is no cure for MM. In addition, the mechanism underlying abnormal production of plasma cells is not clear. In this experiment, peripheral blood was obtained from normal healthy donors and multiple myeloma (MM) patients. Peripheral blood mononuclear cells (PBMC) were separated by Ficoll separation solution. Samples of four donors were pooled and Samples of four MM patients were pooled. The aim was to characterize the mRNA profile of MM patients compared to healthy donors and find the new target of diagnosis or treatment for MM.
