IFN scores to describe type I IFN activation in our patients were analyzed as described elsewhere (26 (link)). In brief, total RNA was isolated from peripheral blood mononuclear cells (PBMCs) separated by Ficoll density gradient centrifugation with the RNeasy Mini Kit (Qiagen, Hilden, Germany) followed by DNase I digestion. Real-Time qRT-PCR was conducted with the Taqman Universal PCR Master Mix on an ABI 7300 PCR machine (Applied Biosystems, Darmstadt, Germany). IFN scores were calculated from the median fold change in relative mRNA expression of seven IFN-stimulated genes (IFI27, IFI44, IFI44L, IFIT1, ISG15, RSAD2, SIGLEC1) normalized to HPRT and GAPDH as previously described (27 (link)). The following threshold were applied: <12.49: no increase in IFN signature; 12.49-30, weak IFN activation; 30-60, moderate IFN activation; 60-200, strong IFN activation; >200, very strong IFN activation (27 (link)).

About PubCompare

Our mission is to provide scientists with the largest repository of trustworthy protocols and intelligent analytical tools, thereby offering them extensive information to design robust protocols aimed at minimizing the risk of failures.

We believe that the most crucial aspect is to grant scientists access to a wide range of reliable sources and new useful tools that surpass human capabilities.

However, we trust in allowing scientists to determine how to construct their own protocols based on this information, as they are the experts in their field.
