Expression data from chicken B cell lymphoma (DT40) cell lines.. Gallus gallus

Global gene expression profiling of the avian B-lymphoma DT40 cell line was used as a model to differentiate among Btk KO and Btk KO cells reconstituted with human Btk. Differences in the gene expression pattern showed statistically significant changes between parental DT40 and all the Btk KO cell populations irrespective of whether they are reconstituted or not. These results imply that in the process of generating a knockout cell line, subclones are selected, which have multiple changes in their gene expression pattern (p<0.01). Keywords: cell line Overall design: DT40 cells along with the mutants were grown at various time points in different batches of fetal calf serum with or without any stimulation. All experiments were repeated ten times and then polled together as one sample. In total 28 samples were used RNA extraction and hybridization on Affymetrix microarrays.
