Project description:T cells were separately isolated from MLN and PP from two naive mice, and T cells binding to a cholera toxin B subunit specific MHC II tetramer from mice orally immunized with cholera toxin 7 days or boosted 5 days with a second dose of cholera toxin. Cells were purified using flow cytometric cell sorting and 3´ (n=5) or 5´ (n=5) libraries were constructed using the 10X workflow. From 5´libraries TCR libraries were also constructed and sequenced.
Project description:The present study used microarray approach to identify the genomewide response to cholera toxin in the presence of nitrate. Considering that fact that the possibility of the existence of multiple Gα genes/proteins in plants has not been conclusively ruled out, analysis of the genomewide impact of RGA1 mutation in rice and GPA1 mutation in Arabidopsis reveal only those genes that are under their direct control. On the other hand, assuming that all those different Gα subunits in any given plant are regulated by cholera toxin, analysis of the genomwide response to cholera toxin could capture the entire G-protein responsive transcriptome, beyond what can be revealed by the mutant approach. This could reveal even those genes that respond to other, as yet unidentified Gα subunits, as well as reveal some genes that are non-specifically regulated by cholera toxin, independent of any G-proteins.
