Innateness transcriptome gradients characterize mouse T lymphocyte populations.

ABSTRACT: A fundamental dichotomy in lymphocytes separates adaptive T and B lymphocytes, with clonally expressed antigen receptors, from innate lymphocytes, which carry out more rapid responses. Some T cell populations, however, are intermediates between these 2 poles, with the capacity to respond rapidly through T cell receptor activation or by cytokine stimulation. Here, using publicly available datasets, we constructed linear mixed models that not only define a gradient of innate gene expression in common for mouse innate-like T cells, but also are applicable to other mouse T lymphoid populations. A similar gradient could be identified for chromatin landscape based on ATAC-seq (assay for transposase-accessible chromatin using sequencing) data. The gradient included increased transcripts related t
