Project name: Homo sapiens

Description: Analysis of effect of long-term cryopreservation on peripheral blood mononuclear cells at gene expression level. The hypothesis tested in the present study was that long-term cryopreservation has an influence on the transcriptome profile of peripheral blood mononuclear cells. Results indicated remarkable changes in expression patterns upon cryopreservation of PBMCs, with decreasing signal intensities over time.Overall design: Total RNA obtained from isolated peripheral blood mononuclear cells of melanoma patients cryopreserved in liqiud nitrogen from 20 to 60 months.

Data type: Transcriptome or Gene expression

Sample scope: Multiisolate

Relevance: Medical
