Project description:CAR+ cells were sorted out of co-culture after 4weeks of continuous exposure to CD19 expressing K562 in order to determine the effects of mbdIL-7 on CAR19 performance and transcriptome
Project description:The goal of this study is to analyze differences in gene expression of CD8 T cells that are antigen-educated by lymphatic stromal cells versus traditional antigen-presenting cells. Naive antigen-specific CD8 T cells reactive against the model antigen ovalbumin (OVA) were isolated from spleens of OT-I transgenic mice. They were then co-cultured with OVA-pulsed mature dendritic cells (mDCs) versus lymphatic endothelial cells (LECs) for up to 3d. Each day, OT-I cells were isolated and prepared for RNAseq analysis to determine differences in gene expression as a function of antigen-presenting cell. Naive, LEC-educated, or DC-educated OT-I transcriptomes are provided here.

Project description:Given the importance of sustained antigen presentation in maintenance of lymph node (LN) immune responses, we hypothesized that vaccine antigen availability and antigen-presenting cell (APC) populations may affect LN expansion. Compared to LNs of mice given the full MPS vaccine, LNs of mice given an MPS vaccine without antigen became prominently less enlarged and contracted sooner.To identify potential mediators of this differential, antigen-dependent response, we next focused the analysis of our scRNA-seq dataset on LN APC populations.
Project description:To more concretely elucidate the long-term effects of chronic SSRI exposure during adulthood, the long-term consequences of chronic fluoxetine (12 mg/kg) versus vehicle treatment during adulthood (postnatal day (PND) 67-88) on gene expression in the hippocampus were investigated. The study showed that adult chronic fluoxetine exposure causes on the long-term changes in the expression of genes related to, amongst others, myelination
