Table 2 The number of statistically significant differentially expressed genes in naïve and pristane-treated rats according to the individual methods
From: Differential gene expression in pristane-induced arthritis susceptible DA versus resistant E3 rats
| Method | Higher in naïve DA rats | Lower in naïve DA rats | Higher in pristane-treated DA rats | Lower in pristane-treated DA rats |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Affymetrix (pooled samples) | 15 (8800) | 24 (8800) | 38 (8800) | 65 (8800) |
| Custom-made chips | 19 (170) | 2 (170) | 2 (170) | 23 (170) |
| Real-time PCR | 0 | 0 | 0 (5) | 3 (5) |
| FACS | 4 (7) | 3 (7) | 3 (7) | 2 (7) |
| ELISA | Total IgE and IgM (3) | 0 (3) | Total IgM (3) | Total IgG (3) |
