npm1: negative flt3-itd: negative cebpa: negative age: 22 diagnosis: AML with normal karyotype gender: male specimen type: Peripheral Blood blast cell percentage: 20 disease state: de novo AML
Treatment protocol
Samples are from untreated patients (de novo AML)
Extracted molecule
total RNA
Extraction protocol
The total RNA was purified either with Qiagen RNeasy Mini kits (Qiagen, Hilden, Germany) or with TRIzol-based protocols.
Label
Biotin
Label protocol
For each sample preparation, total RNA was converted into double-stranded cDNA by reverse transcription using a cDNA Synthesis System kit including an oligo(dT)24 – T7 primer (Roche Applied Science, Mannheim, Germany) and Poly-A control transcripts (Affymetrix, Santa Clara, CA, USA). The generated cRNA was purified using the GeneChip Sample Cleanup Module (Affymetrix) and quantified using the NanoDrop ND-1000 spectrophotometer (NanoDrop Technologies, Wilmington, DE, USA). The incubation steps during the cDNA synthesis, in vitro transcription reaction, and target fragmentation were performed using the Hybex Microarray Incubation System (SciGene, Sunnyvale, CA, USA) and Eppendorf ThermoStat plus instruments (Eppendorf, Hamburg, Germany).
Hybridization protocol
Hybridization, washing, and staining protocols, respectively, were performed on Affymetrix GeneChip instruments (Hybridization Oven 640, Fluidics Station FS450) as recommended by the manufacturer.
Scan protocol
Scanning was performed on Affymetrix GeneChip Scanner GCS3000 instruments as recommended by the manufacturer using default settings. The software used was GCOS 1.2 or higher.
Description
DRE
Data processing
The Robust Multichip Average (RMA) algorithm as implemented in the R package affy (version 1.20.2) was applied to generate probe set level signal intensities.
