Project name: Mus musculus

Description: Microarray was used to delineate the global gene expression profile underlying the specific developmental program of two divergent antigen-specific T helper subsets (Th22 versus Th17) by identifying upregulation or downregulation of key lineage-determining transcription factors, cytokines, chemokines and other genes that govern their functional attributes.Overall design: To identify factors that might distinguish the Th22 and Th17 developmental programs, comparative global transcriptome analysis between these 2 subsets was performed. Naïve splenic CD4+ T cells from OT-II-transgenic mice were isolated and grown in vitro under T-helper lineage-specific conditions in the presence of cognate antigen (ovalbumin) to identify their distinctive global gene-regulation profiles.
