In order to study the gene expression profiles of monocyte and macrophages, we collected three type of cells and performed pair-wised comparison. It includes human peripheral blood monocyte (MONO), human peripheral blood monocyte derived macrophages treated with M-CSF (MACRO)and primary alveolar macrophages (BAL). All the experiments are performed comparing two of the three cell types from the same person (total 4 persons). Totally we got three set of microarray data, MONO/MACRO, MONO/BAL and MACRO/BAL with 4 biological replicates. Keywords: cell_type_comparison_design Overall design: See summary
