Project name: Homo sapiens

Description: Gene expression was evaluated in 9 appendix samples removed from patients who went to the operating room with the diagnosis of acute appendicitis and 4 samples removed for non-inflammatory reasons.A circumferential piece of tissue was obtained at the distal aspect of each specimen. The tissue was flash frozen at -80 degrees for later processing. Frozen specimens were homogenized into TriReagent and RNA was isolated according to the manufacturer's instruction. RNA was processed and hybridized to Affymetrix microarray.Keywords: Disease state analysisOverall design: 9 patients and 4 controls
