Description:
Our primary aim is to generate data to help to understand MCD pathogenesis, specifically: 1) what cells secrete cytokines, 2) what signaling pathways are activated, 3) what cytokines are released, and 4) what triggers this upregulation resulting in acute inflammation. We will investigate these samples using biochemical and RT-PCR techniques, proteomics, genomics, immunohistochemistry, storage for future use, cell culture treated with external stimuli, flow cytometry, and other molecular tests. We also want to collect excess stored tissue samples from previous procedures and store these samples along with unused blood samples and/or buccal swabs or saliva for future research purposes.
