RNA-sequencing of Aire-ILC3 cells from wild-type and Aire-deficient mice
Autoimmune regulator (Aire) plays an indispensable role in the induction of central immune tolerance. We identify a novel subset of Ror?t-dependent innate lymphoid cell-type in secondary lymphoid organs, which presents endogenously generated antigens and contributes to peripheral T cell tolerance. In this experiment, transcriptomes of these Aire-ILC3 cells are characterized in wild-type Balb/C and Aire-/- Balb/C mice [Ramsey, C. et al. (2002) Hum Mol Genet 11:397-409] using RNA-seq method. To obtain the cells, peripheral lymph nodes were minced, enzymatically digested, and Aire-ILC3 cells were FACS-sorted as Lin-, MHCII+, CD80+, IL7Ra+ cells.
