Project name: Mus musculus

Description: Analysis of alternative activation of macrophages at gene expression level. The study forms part of a wider study where we compare the effects of IL-4 in different human and mouse macrophages. Our results support the notion that in vitro culture conditions greatly affect the macrophage response to IL-4.Total RNA obtained from Thioglycollate and Biogel elicited peritoneal macrophages exposed to 20 ng/ml of IL-4 for 18 hours.Overall design: Biogel and thioglycollate elicited macrophages were stimulated with the Th2 cytokine IL-4, for RNA extraction and hybridization on Affymetrix microarrays.

Data type: Transcriptome or Gene expression

Sample scope: Multiisolate
