Project description:Dendritic cells (DCs) are major antigen-presenting cells that play a key role in initiating and regulating innate and adaptive immune responses. DCs are critical mediators of tolerance and immunity. The functional properties of DCs changes with age. The purpose of this study was to define the age-associated molecular changes in DCs by gene array analysis using Affymatrix GeneChips. We identified up and down-regulated gene expression changes in DC from aged donors compared to young donors. Total 9 MoDC RNA samples from four young donors (20-27 years) and five aged donors (77-84 years) were analyzed using Affymetrix HG-U133A_2 Gene Arrays to compare differential gene expression changes in MoDC between aged and young groups
Project description:We performed a comparison of transcriptome between monocyte-derived dendritic cells (moDC) cultured with neutrophil extracellular traps (NETs) from healthy donors or type 1 diabetes (T1D) patients. The source of moDCs is healthy donors and T1D patients
Project description:This study aimed to identify the human T cell response toward different antigen doses. Fresh isolated CD8+ T cells from peripheral blood mononuclear cells (PBMCs) were stimulated with influenza M1 peptide-loaded autologous monocyte-derived dendritic cells for 2 weeks. A high M1 peptide antigen dose (10uM on moDC, HD1-5) and an optimal antigen dose (10nM on moDC OD1-5) were used. M1-specific CD8 T cells were tetramer sorted at the end of the 2 weeks. RNA was extracted and analyzed for gene expression using Agilent 8X60K gene expression microarrays. 5 independent samples from 3 different HLA A2+ blood donors.
