Area of Science:

  • Immunology
  • Genomics
  • Systems Biology

Background:

  • Microarray technology allows simultaneous analysis of all expressed genes within a cell, known as the transcriptome.
  • This technology has been instrumental in allergic disease research, identifying key molecules in pathogenesis.
  • Transcriptome analysis is increasingly vital for a systems biology approach to understand molecular interactions.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To introduce the application of microarray technology for understanding the functional roles of mast cells.
  • To present a web database of transcriptomes from various mast cell types and other cell types.
  • To highlight the potential of transcriptome data for constructing in silico models of human mast cells.

Main Methods:

  • Application of microarray technology to analyze gene expression in mast cells and other cell types.
