From: Global gene expression profiling identifies new therapeutic targets in acute Kawasaki disease
Transcript abundance levels of IL1B, IL1R1, IL1R2, IL1RAP, and IL1RN were measured in a new cohort of KD subjects (n = 20) and controls (n = 10) by reverse transcriptase-polymerase chain reaction (RTPCR). The relative abundance of these genes were normalized against the expression level of the house keeping gene (TAF1B). qPCR results showed that these key IL1 genes were highly abundant in acute phase of KD patients in comparison with the convalescent phase and with the controls.
