All measurements from the single-antigen ELISAs were combined with the measurements from the bead-array cytokine assay for integrated analysis of cytokine and autoantibody profiles in baseline samples derived from all three cohorts of etanercept new-start RA patients.
To investigate further the relation between inflammation and citrullination, we analyzed the correlation between the presence of total and intracellular CP, as well as PAD enzymes, and the degree of local inflammation in baseline samples obtained from all RA patients and healthy individuals (n = 34).
11) Collect baseline serum samples from all known potentially exposed persons (17, 27).
33 At baseline, water samples from all 5966 tube wells in the study area were collected in 50 mL acid washed tubes after the well was pumped for five minutes.
At baseline, water samples from all 5,966 tube wells in the study area were collected in 50-mL acid-washed tubes after well pumping for 5 min (van Geen et al. 2002, 2003).
The trial team collects baseline blood samples from all participants during the first visit, after informed consent, to assess levels of serum ionised calcium as well as serum 25(OH D assay, HbA1c and the other secondary endpoints mentioned earlier.
Resistance testing was performed by population-based sequencing of plasma samples from all patients at baseline and from patients with virological failure (VF) who had HCV-RNA levels of ≥1,000 IU/mL.
Blood samples from all enrolled subjects are collected at baseline and then at different time intervals according to specific time schedules set up for either normal subjects, or patients with limited cancers, or patients with metastatic cancers.
Population nucleotide sequencing was conducted on full-length HCV NS3/4A and NS5A genes amplified from all available baseline samples (pretreatment) from patients with HCV GT4 infection.
