Reproducibility of serum cytokines in an elderly population

Abstract: Background It is important to assess the temporal reproducibility of circulating cytokines for their utility in epidemiological studies. However, existing evidence is limited and inconsistent, especially for the elderly population. Methods Sixty-five elderly (mean age = 77.89 ± 6.14 years) subjects were randomly selected from an existing prospective cohort study. Levels of 41 cytokines in 195 serum samples, collected at three separat… Show more

“…When analyzing cytokine levels, samples with values below the lower limit of detection (LLOD) were assigned a value of LLOD divided by the square root of two. Samples with values between the LLOD and upper limit of detection (ULOD) were considered detectable for specific cytokines ( 28 ).…”

“…Differential gene expression analysis (DGE) was performed using a microarray dataset (GSE18965) ( 28 ) through the GEO2R open-source interactive web tool. Were considered differentially expressed (DE) those genes with p <0.05 after Benjamini & Hochberg (False discovery rate, FDR) correction ( 29 ).…”
