Influence of T and B lymphocytes on the antigen presentation capacities of splenic conventional dendritic cells
Ontology highlight
ABSTRACT: The goal of this project was to characterize DCs from lymphopenic mice, like RAG (recombination activated gene) deficient mice and to examine the influence of mature B and T cells on the antigen presenting ability of splenic cDCs. We demonstrate how cellular cross-talk can shape the character and function of cDCs. Lymphopenic conditions, where splenic cDCs have to develop and differentiate, drastically change their character and their ability to cross-present soluble antigen. In this approach we sorted out two populations (CD8?+ and CD8?-) of splenic dendritic cells (DCs) from untreated WT, and RAG2-/- C57Bl/6 mice. The age of mice was between 8-10 weeks. Further we isolated RNA and performed microarray analysis. Each DCs population was repeated twice.
