RNA-seq of variable heavy and light IgG fragments of CD19(+)CD24(high)CD38(high) subpopulation isolated from peripheral blood of patients with multiple sclerosis and healthy donors.

ABSTRACT: To date nothing is known about the specificity of regulatory B cells. Here we analyzed the B cell repertoire at the Ig gene level of regulatory transitional CD24(high)CD38(high) B cells of patients with multiple sclerosis (MS) in comparison with healthy donors. 5 patients with highly active MS, 4 patients with benign MS and 6 healthy donors were examined. Mononuclear cells from peripheral blood were stained against CD19, CD24 and CD38 surface markers. Subpopulation CD19(+)CD24(high)CD38(high) and total pool of CD19(+) cells were sorted individually for subsequent RNA isolation and BCR sequences comparison. Variable heavy (VH) and light (VL) chains genes of each patient were amplified from cDNA and deep sequencing of the VH and VL genes was carried out.
