| 摘要 |
Set of control genes for normalizing gene expression data from blood samples comprises seven RNA sequences corresponding to GenBank accession numbers NM001562, NM001228, NM001993, NM002209, NM000587, BC002715 and NM003082. Independent claims are also included for: (1) set of primers derived from the above control genes, comprising 14 DNA sequences comprising forward and reverse primers for ITGAL, SNAPC1, CASP8, C7, PPARD, IL18 and F3 genes; (2) set of probes derived from the above control genes, comprising 7 DNA sequences corresponding to the ITGAL, SNAPC1, CASP8, C7, PPARD, IL18 and F3 genes; (3) normalizing gene expression data by performing a gene expression assay on a blood sample in vitro in the presence of control nucleic acids (genes, primers or probes as above), detecting signals representing the extent of gene expression for several genes and the control nucleic acids, and subjecting the signal data to a mathematical transformation to minimize the variability of the signal data. |
