Mus musculus Transcriptome or Gene expression
To determine whether CD8+ T cells contribute to oligodendrocyte and myelin pathology in 5xFAD mice, we treated 6-months old 5xFAD mice with antibodies against CD8. For the depletion of CD8+ T cells mice, 5xFAD mice aged 6 months were intraperitoneally injected with anti-CD8 antibody (BioXCell, BP0061) and their respective isotype controls (BioXCell, BE0119) twice a week for a total of 6 weeks.For 10X genomic experiments, mice were deeply anesthetized and perfused with cold PBS. Each brain was removed and individually microdissected under a dissection microscope, wherein the cortex and hippocampus were isolated from the brain and the attached choroid plexus was removed.
