Effect of ablation of CEACAM1 on gene expression in human regulatory T cells
To study the contribution of CEACAM1 in human Tregs, CEACAM1 was knocked out in ex-vivo expanded human Tregs by Crispr/Cas9. Tregs transfected with scramble gRNAs were used as controls. After electroporation, scramble or CEACAM1KO Tregs were subcultured with IL-2 for 7 days and RNA was isolated for genome-wide RNA-seq. Gene expression profiling analysis was performed using data obtained from RNA-seq of two replicates of CEACAM1KO and control cells. Overall design: Comparative gene expression profiling analysis of RNA-seq data for CEACAM1KO and scramble control human Tregs.
