Description
To identify patterns of change in gene expression that correlated with drug treatment (saline control, ADH-1 alone, melphalan alone and ADH-1 plus melphalan) in our animal model of regional therapy for extremity melanoma we evaluated gene expression using microarray genechips and a Pearson correlation analysis. Genes were ranked according to the degree to which expression correlated with systemic ADH-1 treatment alone or in combination with regional melphalan. Tissue samples were harvested at 4, 24 and 48 hours after treatment with melphalan.
