Illumina HiSeq 2500 paired end sequencing; T helper type 2 and type 0 RNA-seq time course
T helper type 2 and type 0 RNA-seq time course
T cells from blood (human) and mouse (spleen) Mononuclear cells were isolated from the cord blood of healthy neonates at Turku University Central Hospital using Ficoll-Paque PLUS (GE Healthcare, #17-1440-02). CD4+ T cells were then isolated using the Dynal bead-based positive isolation kit (Invitrogen). CD4+ cells from three individual donors were activated directly in 24w plates with plate-bound anti-CD3 (500ng/well, Immunotech) and soluble anti-CD28 (500 ng/mL, Immunotech) at a density of 2×106 cells/mL of Yssel's medium67 containing 1% human AB serum (PAA). Th2 cell polarization was initiated with IL-4 (10 ng/ml, R&D Systems). Cells activated without IL-4 were also cultured (Th0). Total RNA was purified by Qiagen RNeasy Mini Kit according to manufacturer's instruction, and concentration was determined by a Nanodrop. A total of 500 ng RNA was used to prepare sequencing libraries using KAPA Stranded mRNA-seq Kit (KAPA #07962193001) according to manufacturer's instructions.
