Abstract
Laser capture microdissection (LCM) is a powerful tool for selection and isolation of single cells or compartments from complex primary tissues to perform molecular analyses. Celiac disease is a genetic autoimmune disorder where the ingestion of gluten leads to damage in the small intestine. Increased intraepithelial lymphocytes and the presence of the lamina propria inflammatory infiltrate of the duodenal mucosa is a common part of the disease. These cells promote inflammatory processes through the release of cytokines. Here, we describe the use of LCM and real-time quantitative PCR (RT-qPCR) to analyze cytokine profile information in distinct duodenal mucosa tissue compartments of celiac patients.
