Project description:The naive CD4 T cell compartment is heterogeneous. Ly-6C- and Ly-6C+ Naive CD4 T cells were compare by microarrays. Ly-6C- and Ly-6C+ Naive CD4 T cells were purified for RNA extraction and hybridization on Affymetrix microarrays.
Project description:Purpose: The goals of this study are to identify the putative mRNA targets that are regulated by the 6C sRNA. We constuct an inducible vector to transiently overexpressed the 6C sRNA in M. smegmatis, and then we perform RNA-Seq to look for genes that are differicently expressed upon the over-expression of 6C sRNA, which we think these genes are the potential targets of the 6C sRNA.
