Project description:Analysis of cryopreservation effects on peripheral blood mononuclear cells at gene expression level. The hypothesis tested in the present study was that cryopreservation has an influence on the transcriptome profile of peripheral blood mononuclear cells. Results indicated remarkable changes in expression patterns upon cryopreservation of PBMCs, with a strong loss of signal intensities to background levels for several transcripts. Total RNA obtained from isolated peripheral blood mononuclear cells of healthy human subjects eihter cryopreserved in liqiud nitrogen (frozen) or direclty lysed in Trizol after isolation (fresh).
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.

Project description:CD4 T cell responses are characterized based on a limited number of molecular markers selected from exisiting knowledge. The goal of the experiment was to assess antigenic-peptide specific T-cell responses in vitro without bias using microarrays. PBMCs were isolated from 1 healthy donor. The fresh cells or cells thawed from cryopresevation (frozen) were stimulated with peptides derived from influenza virus for 24 hours. Unstimulated cells were cultured without the peptides for 24 hours. Experiments were done in triplicate.

Project description:Variation in individuals' responses to environmental factors is believed to influence susceptibility to complex diseases in humans. The genetic basis of such variation is poorly understood. We measured gene expression from resting and stimulated dendritic cells (DCs) derived from the peripheral blood of healthy individuals. We stimulated the primary DCs with E. coli lipopolysaccharide (LPS), influenza virus or the cytokine IFNβ, and associated genetic variation between individuals with the observed variation in gene expression and gene induction. We collected peripheral blood from each human donor. We isolated peripheral blood mononuclear cells by Ficoll, and magnetically sorted them for CD14+CD16- monocytes. We then differentiated the monocytes into monocyte-derived dendritic cells (MoDCs) by culturing the cells for 7 days with GM-CSF and IL-4. We stimulated the cells with E. coli lipopolysaccharide (LPS) for 2.5 hr or 5 hr, influenza (PR8 dNS1) for 10 hr, or recombinant IFN-beta for 6.5 hr. Finally, we lysed the cells and ran Nanostring on the lysates.

We stimulated the primary DCs with E. coli lipopolysaccharide (LPS) or influenza virus. Using serial replicate samples, we selected genes that showed evidence of reproducibility within the serial replicates. We collected peripheral blood from each human donor.

Project description:Single-cell RNAseq (10x Genomics) analysis of human CD4+ T cells in IPEX patients, healthy donors and heterozygous mothers (blood). Human CD4+T cells from IPEX, HD and mothers were isolated from frozen peripheral blood mononuclear cells by flow cytometry as DAPI–CD3+CD4+ cells. In cohort 1, cells from separate donor were encapsulated in separate channel following 10x Genomics Single Cell 3′ Reagent Kit (V2 chemistry). In cohort 2, samples were tagged using a different Hashtags, pooled and encapsulared following 10x Genomics Single Cell 3′ Reagent Kit (V3 chemistry).
