Transcription profiling of mouse memory versus naive B cells (1st generation and 2nd generation screens)

ABSTRACT: Memory B cells play essential roles in the maintenance of long-term immunity and may be important in the pathogenesis of autoimmune disease, but how these cells are distinguished from their naïve precursors is poorly understood. To address this, it would be important to understand how gene expression differs between memory and naive B cells in order to elucidate memory-specific functions. Using model systems that help overcome the lack of murine memory-specific markers and the low frequency of antigen-specific memory and naïve cells, we undertook a global comparison of gene expression between memory B cells and their naive precursors. 1st generation screen:; These data represent our first generation comparison of gene expression between murine naïve and memory splenic B cells.
