We have presented all data as mean ± standard error. The chips that passed the quality control criteria were analyzed with Partek (Partek, St. Louis), commercial software designed specifically to analyze microarray data. Using Partek, we conducted ANOVA analysis and reported the p-values of the comparisons of interest as previously described [13 (link)].
We applied Student’s t-test or one-way ANOVA, as appropriate, to analyze the quantitative data. Furthermore, we evaluated any data changes before and after IVIG treatment with the paired sample t-test. All statistical analyses were carried out using SPSS version 22.0 for Windows XP (SPSS, Inc., Chicago, USA), and a two-sided p-value less than 0.05 was considered statistically significant.
