Project description:Blood-stage malaria infection induces differentiation of several effector CD4 + T subsets including Tfh and Th1 cells. The cues and microarchitectural niches required in secondary lymphoid organs for their formation were previously uncharacterised. Here we used scRNA-seq to profile splenocyte transcriptomes at steady state or upon malaria infection as a reference dataset for deconvolution of spatial transcriptomic data.
Project description:Splenocytes comprised a wide-range of immune cells responsible for the protection against infectious diseases. We exposed splenocytes to GFP+ Borrelia, sorted GFP+ and GFP- splenocytes and performed single-cell RNA seq to analyze the DEGs between infected and bystander population in different immune cell populations
