Gene expression profiling of the Peyer's patch mononuclear phagocyte system.

ABSTRACT: Peyer's patches (PPs) are primary inductive sites of mucosal immunity. The PP mononuclear phagocyte system, which encompasses both dendritic cells (DCs) and macrophages, is essential for the initiation of the mucosal immune response. We recently developed a method to isolate each mononuclear phagocyte subset of PP (Bonnardel et al., 2015). We performed a transcriptional analysis of three of these subsets: the CD11b(+) conventional DC, the lysozyme-expressing monocyte-derived DC termed LysoDC and the CD11c(hi) lysozyme-expressing macrophages. Here, we provide details of the gating strategy we used to isolate each phagocyte subset and show the quality controls and analysis associated with our gene array data deposited into Gene Expression Omnibus (GEO) under GSE65514.
