NF-?B-induced expression of T-bet suppresses the proliferation of malignant B cells and is associated with good prognosis in chronic lymphocytic leukemia
Tbx21-/- TCL1 cells were generated to explore the effect of T-bet expression in malignant B cells. Single-cell suspensions from spleens of Tbx21 knockout and control TCL1 mice were prepared and splenocytes were enriched in TCL1 cells, resulting in a purity above 97% of CD5+ CD19+ cells. RNA sequencing libraries were prepared using the Illumina TruSeq Stranded mRNA Kit and sequenced on the Illumina NovaSeq 6000.
