Article Snippet: To modulate LAIR1 expression, lentiviral vectors carrying short hairpin RNA targeting LAIR1 (shLAIR1), a nontargeting scrambled negative control short hairpin RNA (shNC), or a LAIR1 overexpression cassette were constructed and supplied by Shanghai GeneChem Co., Ltd. (Shanghai, China).
