E-MTAB-5989
Single-cell RNA-seq of of dermal fibroblasts using microfluidic droplet capture (stimulated cells)
The innate immune response - the expression programme that is initiated once a pathogen is sensed - is known to be variable among responding cells, as well as to rapidly evolve in the course of mammal evolution. To study the transcriptional divergence and cell-to-cell variability of this response, we stimulated dermal fibroblast cells from two primates (human and macaque) and two rodents (mouse and rat) with dsRNA - a mimic of viral RNA that elicits a rapid innate immune response. Subsequently, we profiled the response using bulk RNA-seq, scRNA-seq and ChIP-seq across the four species and across different time points.<br>This experiment contains data of dermal fibroblasts from 3 human individuals, stimulated with dsRNA (poly I:C) for 6 hours, sequenced by 10X Genomics technology. Corresponding data from unstimulated cells are found under ArrayExpress accession <a href="/arrayexpress/experiments/E-MTAB-5988">E-MTAB-5988</a>.
