Tonsillar mononuclear cells were isolated from tissues by mechanical disruption (tonsils were minced and pressed through a 70-micron cell screen) followed by Ficoll-Paque centrifugation RNA was isolated from ~1 million of each cell type using Trizol Re- agent (Invitrogen), purified using the Directzol RNA Miniprep Kit (Zymo Research), and depleted of contaminating genomic DNA using DNAse I. Purified RNA was checked for quality on a Bioanlayzer 2100 using the Nano RNA Chip and samples with RIN>7 were used for RNA-seq library preparation. RNA samples were depleted of rRNA using QIAseq Fastselect RNA removal kit (Qiagen). RNA samples were depleted of rRNA using the QIAseq FastSelect RNA Removal Kit then processed into libraries using the NEBNext Ultra II Directional RNA Library Prep Kit for Illumina according to manufacturer's instructions. Quality and quantity of the libraries was measured using the Bioanalyzer 2100 DNA chip and Qubit Fluorometer. Libraries were pooled and sequenced on the NovaSeq 6000 platform using paired-end 51bp reads at the Center for Spatial and Functional Genomics at CHOP.
