Gene expression using microarrays in transplant recipients at risk of EBV lymphoproliferation after organ transplantation: Preliminary proof‐of‐concept

We hypothesized that aspects of the virus-host interaction could be measured to help predict progression to EBV-PTLD. We examined the spectrum of host genes differentially expressed and any relevant clustering in children at risk of EBV lymphoproliferation after organ transplantation. We compared the genes expressed among patients with different levels of viral loads. Gene expression was measured by microarray analysis of RNA from CD19+ B …
