Expression profiling by high throughput sequencing
Summary
Emergence of IgE antibodies that bind allergens with high affinity is highly correlated with the severity of anaphylaxis. However, the underlying molecular mechanisms by which high-affinity IgE is generated remain poorly understood. To examine function of IL-13 derived from T cells in IgE producing B cell development, we transferred IL-13 sufficient or deficient OT-2 TH2 into IgE reporter (Verigem) mice followed by immunization with NP-OVA. At 7 day post immunization, NP specific IgE producing B cells were sorted and served to single cell transcriptome analysis.
Overall design
NP specific IgE+ B cells of mice were sorted and analyzed the transcriptome using Illumina NovaSeq 6000.
