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) CD4+CD62L+ naive T cells were purified from spleens of wild-type C57BL/6JAX adult (6 - 8 weeks) mice using the CD4+CD62L+ T Cell Isolation Kit II (Miltenyii #130-093-227). Cell culture plates were coated with anti-CD3e antibody (1 ug/ml, eBioscences #16-0031-81) in 1X DPBS (Gibco) at 4°C overnight. Purified naive T cells were seeded at a concentration of 1 M cells/ml on the coated plates in IMDM (Gibco) with 10% heat-inactivated FBS (Sigma), supplied with 5 ug/ml anti-CD28 (eBioscience #16-0281-86) with (Th2) or without (Th0) 10 ng/ml mouse recombinant IL-4 (R&D Systems #404-ML-050). Cells were cultured in plates for up to 72 hours. 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.
