We have presented all data as mean ± standard error. Once chips passed the quality control criteria, we evaluated them with Partek (Partek, St. Louis), which is commercial software specifically designed to analyze microarray data. Using Partek, we conducted ANOVA analysis and reported the p-values of comparisons of interest, as previously described [5 (link)]. We adopted Student’s t-test or one-way ANOVA as necessary to evaluate the quantitative data and the paired sample t-test to evaluate any data changes before and after IVIG treatment. All statistical analyses were carried out with SPSS version 12.0 for Windows XP (SPSS, Inc., Chicago, USA), and we considered a two-sided p-value less than 0.05 statistically significant.
