Abstract | OBJECTIVE: METHODS: According to relevant literature, SNP database of NCBI and SNP500 Cancer database of NCI, SNP loci and sequences of cytokines of clinical importance, TNF-a, IL-10, TGF-bl, IL-4 and IL-6, and matched cytokine receptors were chosen and 59 synthesized oligonucleotide probes were immobilized on a glass support, then the primer and Cy5-dCTP were used in multi-PCR, thus the products were labeled with Cy5. The labeled PCR products were hybridized with the probes in the array, and the signals were scanned by Scanner and then analyzed by Image software. Peripheral blood samples were collected from 80 healthy donors and 50 patients with uremia to isolate lymphocytes and DNA so as to undergo typing by this array, and the results were validated with direct sequencing. RESULTS: All the samples with PCR products except for 10 from uremia patients had been genotyped by cytokine array successfully. No diversity was found in genotyping for three times. Incorrect locus was not found with direct sequencing. CONCLUSION: With high specificity, sensitivity, repetitiveness, and throughout, and easy to manipulate, oligonucleotide array technique is an ideal molecular method for SNP genotyping of cytokine and cytokine receptor.
