description: The GEArray Q Series Human Cardiovascular Disease Gene Array II is designed to analyze the relative expression of 96 atherosclerosis-related genes. Atherosclerosis is characterized by abnormal fatty deposits in and fibrosis of the inner layer of arteries. This progressive disease takes years to manifest itself as a partial or complete interruption of blood flow. Depending on the artery affected, atherosclerosis can lead to life-threatening acute conditions such as a heart attack or a stroke. It is a multi-factorial disease involving several different types of cells including endothelial cells, leukocytes and smooth muscle cells. Multiple biological processes are also involved such as cell-adhesion, inflammation, growth and apoptosis. Each of these pathways is represented on the array. Both in vivo and in vitro studies have demonstrated these genes to be important for the onset, progression and prevention of atherosclerosis. Through a simple side-by-side hybridization using your experimental RNA samples, the arrays provided in this kit, and a SuperArray Probe Synthesis Kit (sold separately), you can simultaneously determine the expression profile of these 96 atherosclerosis-related genes.
