Title |
Pregnancy changes expression in peripheral blood mononuclear cells of healthy donors |
Organism |
Homo sapiens |
Experiment type |
Expression profiling by array
|
Summary |
Background: pregnancy is associated with reduced activity of multiple sclerosis (MS). However, the biological mechanisms underlying this pregnancy-related decrease in disease activity are poorly understood. This data series contains the subset of data used to generate a healthy donors signature comparing female healthy specimens before pregnancy with respect to female healthy specimens at ninth month pregnancy.

Overall design |
Subjects were followed in the outpatients clinic and blood was collected before pregnancy and at the following time points during pregnancy: first trimester (gestational age at sampling 12 weeks), second trimester (24 weeks), and third trimester (36 weeks). Before-pregnancy samples were obtained in a treatment-free period and after anticonceptional drug withdrawal. Peripheral blood mononuclear cells (PBMCs) obtained from 11 women (7 healthy donors before pregnancy and 4 healthy donors at 9th month pregnancy) were analyzed by oligonucleotide microarray technology.
