Project description:To investigate tissue of origin effects on migratory dendritic cell (DC) gene expression in shared lymph nodes we performed bulk RNAseq of DCs from each tissue (liver, pancreas, duodenum). We then performed single cell sequencing of the DCs within the draining lymph nodes.

Project description:In this study we focussed our investigations on ECM remodelling by FRCs during lymph node (LN) expansion, and the interconnection between the cellular and ECM components of the conduit network. We demonstrate a loss of ECM components of the conduit during acute LN expansion
Project description:A classifier was build on 82 training samples to differentiate between lymph node negative (N0) and lymph node metastasis (N+) head and neck squamous-cell carcinomas (HNSCC). The 102 predictor genes that resulted from this classifier where then validated against a independent validation set.
Project description:To determine the different gene signatures between B lymphocytes from tumor draining lymph node (DLN) and normal lymph node (NLN), we have employed gene microarray as a discovery platform to identify gene signatures of tumor-educated B cells in DLN from tumor-bearing mice, taking NLN from normal mice as a control. We subcutaneously inoculated Balb/c mice with breast cancer cell line 4T1. Two weeks later, DLN was harvest and B cells were purified as descript in “treatment protocol”. From gene microarray, we found that B cells in DLN showed quite different transcript profiles from that in NLN.
