Peripheral blood cells will be extracted from all blood samples. mRNA will be purified from all samples. The mRNA will be divided to aliquots and will be frozen in -80°C until further processing after all cohort samples have been collected. mRNAs will be purified from whole blood using the QIAamp RNA purification kit (Quiagen Germany). A DNase I (Qiagen) digestion step is included in order to eliminate genomic DNA. Serum will be collected from all blood samples. It will will be frozen in -70°C until further processing after all cohort samples have been collected.
