Fig. 1. Gene expression analysis overview. The gene expression profiling analysis<br />

starts with sample target preparation (see Note 1). The target is the labeled nucleic<br />

acid that is being interrogated. It is hybridized to the probes on the array. For each<br />

respective sample, double-stranded (ds) cDNA is synthesized from total RNA isolated<br />

from mononuclear cells. An in vitro transcription (IVT) reaction is then performed to<br />

produce biotin-labeled cRNA from the cDNA. After fragmentation, a hybridization<br />

cocktail is prepared, including the fragmented target, probe array controls, bovine serum<br />

albumin, and herring sperm DNA. The cocktail is hybridized to the probe array<br />

during a 16-h incubation. Immediately following hybridization, the probe array undergoes<br />

an automated washing and staining protocol on the fluidics station. After the<br />

array is scanned, the raw data are analyzed for probe signal intensities and all results<br />

are reported in tabular and graphical formats. Then the data set is prepared for detailed<br />

statistical analyses.
