Transcriptional profiling of wildtype versus Themis2-deficient follicular B cells

ABSTRACT: This RNA-seqexperiment was designed to find transciptional differences between wildtype and Themis2-deficient B cells either directly ex-vivo or stimulated for 6 h with various stimuli in vitro. It is part of a larger study on the function of Themis2 in B cells. Therefore splenic, live, B220+ CD93- IgM+ CD23+ follicular B cells were sorted by flow cytometry from wildtype or Themis2-deficient (Themis2KO/KO) C57BL/6J mice. Unstimulated samples were were lysed directly after the sort. Stimulated samples were stimulated in vitro for 6 h at 37 degree Celsius at a concentration of 3 million cells/mL with either 10 microgram/mL anti-IgM or 10 microgram/mL LPS or 1 microgram/mL CD40L with 0.1 microgram/mL IL-4 and then lysed. RNA was extracted using Trizol reagent (Life Technologies) and cleaned up using the RNEasy Mini Kit (Quiagen). Single end, unstranded, poly-A-enriched libraries were made using the TruSeq RNA sample preparation kit (Illumina). Samples were analysed with an Illumina HiSeq 2000, collecting 13.2 to 76.1 million reads of 75 bases per sample.
