In third-leukapheresis MO, the clones included differentiation genes (HOX-B3, thymosin-beta4, PU.1, glucocerebrosidase, MEL-18, and glucose-6-phosphate dehydrogenase) and 3 unknown/functionally undefined sequences.
1 context sentence(design, population, supporting numbers)
A complementary DNA (cDNA) library was constructed from first-leukapheresis MO obtained from an RA patient with active disease; 32P-labeled cDNA from first-leukapheresis MO (activated pool) and third-leukapheresis MO (nonactivated pool) were used as probes for differential hybridization.
This result measures the body's own Thymosin beta-4 (human). Nobody was given the peptide. It is not evidence about taking it.
