Project description:The importance of unanchored Ub in innate immunity has been shown only for a limited number of unanchored Ub-interactors. We investigated what additional cellular factors interact with unanchored Ub and whether unanchored Ub plays a broader role in innate immunity. To identify unanchored Ub-interacting factors from murine lungs, we used His-tagged recombinant poly-Ub chains as bait. These chains were mixed with lung tissue lysates and protein complexes were isolated with Ni-NTA beads. Sample elutions were subjected to mass spectrometry (LC-MSMS) analysis.
Project description:The experiments were designed to gain insight into the gene expression of conventional and unconventional murine T cell subsets in the steady state and upon activation TCRαβ and TCRγδ intraepithelial lymphocytes (IEL) isolated from murine gut, naïve and virus-induced memory splenocytes, activated dendritic epidermal T cells (DETC)
