MIS-C RNA immune gene expression data

Quantitative PCR results for 80 immune genes of interest from patients with multisystem inflammatory syndrome in children (MIS-C) and other controls: healthy non-inflammatory paediatric controls, Kawasaki disease, lupus, and other inflammatory conditions. Data is presented as 1/deltaCT values computed for each transcript relative to mean of three reference transcripts (ACTR3, CDC42, USF2). Transcripts of interest were pre-amplified using a pool of 96 TaqMan primer-probe assays. Pre-amplified cDNA, along with an internal positive control and a no-template (water) control, and the 96 primer-probe assays, were loaded into a microfluidic 96.96 Gene Expression Integrated Fluidic Circuit (Fluidigm) and gene expression of individual transcripts was then quantified by quantitative real time PCR performed on a BioMark HD (Fluidigm) instrument. The following parameters were applied for extracting cycle threshold (CT) values: Linear (Derivative) baseline correction, Quality Threshold of 0.3 and Auto (Global) for Ct Threshold Method using Fluidigm software version 4.5.2.
