ABSTRACT:
RNA was extracted (Ambion RNAqueous), amplified (SMART), labelled with cy3, mixed with cy5 labelled human reference (Stratagene), and hybridised to slides printed with Human AROS v4.0 oligonucleotides (Operon).
Slides were scanned using a Perkin Elmer GX plus, and the data then normalised with GEPAS v4.0 and collated. One sample was deemed to be of too low hybridisation quality, and was hence removed at this point.
Final data analysis was carried out using TMEV 4.0. SAM was performed using a 10% FDR. HCL and PCA were plotted from this list, and interrogation carried out using DAVID to determine pathway enrichment

Although human naturally occurring regulatory T cells (Tregs) may express either CD45RA or CD45RO, we find in agreement with previous reports that the ( approximately 80%) majority of natural Tregs in adults are CD45RO(+). The proportion of CD45RA(+) Tregs decreases, whereas CD45RO(+) Tregs increase significantly with age. Nevertheless, a small proportion of CD45RA(+) Tregs are found even in old (>80 y) adults and a proportion of these express CD31, a marker for recent thymic emigrants. We found ...[more]
