A lentivirus-based RNAi delivery system with short-interfering RNAs against CypA was used to infect 95C and A549 cells to determine the function of CypA (referred to as 95C-KD and A549-KD).
The sign of the resulting z-score was adjusted in such a way that those above >0 indicated a gain-of-function when the participant was more sensitive to the stimuli compared with controls (hyperesthesia, hyperalgesia, and allodynia), while z-scores <0 indicated a loss-of-function referring to a lower sensitivity (hypoesthesia and hypoalgesia) [7, 18].
Values were adjusted for signs in such a way that positive Z-scores indicated gain of somatosensory function when the patient was more sensitive to the tested stimuli compared with controls (hyperesthesia, hyperalgesia, allodynia), and negative Z-scores indicated loss of function, referring to a lower sensitivity of the patient (hypoesthesia, hypoalgesia) [19].
