[Study of expression of cytokine genes in the process of cultivation of healthy donor leukocytes]

Study of expression of cytokine genes in the process of cultivation of healthy donor leukocytes.RNA isolated before, after 3 and 24 hours of cultivation of leukocytes of 15 healthy donors aged 19 - 32 years was the object of the study. Study of the expression of genes of 8 cytokines by the level of their mRNA was performed by using polymerase chain reactionwith reverse transcription.In healthy donors among with individual differences, general regularities were traced: higher levels of IFNalpha and anti-inflammatory cytokine gene expression, as well as predominantly low expression of pro-inflammatory cytokines.In most of the cases in the process of cultivation of leukocytes isolated from blood donors the highest level of gene expression of pro-inflammatory cytokines is noted after 3 hours of cultivation, and expression of genes of anti-inflammatory cytokines remains constant for 24 hours of cultivation.
