Outline of Final Research Achievements |
It was studied whether‘measurement method of splicing activity of peripheral blood mononuclear cells (PBMCs)’is useful as a single diagnosis of systemic lupus erythematosus (SLE). Firstly, the measurement method of splicing activity of PBMCs was developed and optimized. Next, the splicing activity of PBMCs from the patients with SLE and healthy donors was measeured by this methods. As a result of that, there was no difference on the splicing activity between groups of the patients with SLE and healthy donors. For a while, it was found that the measurement of splicing activity of only T cells may be more accurate than that of PBMCs, so I will investigate splicing activity of T cells from the patients with SLE and healthy donors.
