Supplemental Table E1 Up-regulated mRNAs in CD4+ T-cells in severe asthmatics. Circulating CD4+ T-cells were isolated from 8 non-asthmatics control and 8 severe asthmatics and the profile of mRNAs expression was determine using U133 Affymetric microarrays. This table lists those mRNAs whose expression was increased in the CD4+ obtained from severe asthmatics compared with non-asthmatics controls and is expressed as fold change. The mechanism of statistical analysis is described in the methods section.
