Regulatory T and T helper cells from BXD mouse strains

ABSTRACT: Parental and BXD mouse lines were received from Jackson Laboratory and The Oak Ridge National Laboratory. Splenocytes were isolated and stained with anti-CD4 and anti-CD25 antibodies. CD4+ T cells were separated into CD4+CD25+ Treg and CD4+CD25- Th cells. Tregs and Th cell were collected from spleens of 31 BXD recombinant inbred strains and of the parental mouse strains DBA/2J and C57BL/6J. Gene expression was measured by microarrays. The comparative analysis of the transcriptomes from the two cell populations allowed us to identify many novel differentially expressed genes. Furthermore, the analysis of cis- and trans-expression Quantitative Trail Loci (eQTLs) showed that both common and unique regulatory mechanisms are active in the two cell types.
