Gene expression data from memory Rictor-/- and WT Tfh and Th1 cells in LCMV acute infection

Microarray experiments were performed to demonstrate the transcriptome changes due to Rictor deficiency in memory follicular T helper (Tfh) and Type 1 T helper (Th1) cells. These data revealed that the immunological memory formation and persistance associated genes are changed in Rictor-null memory Tfh and Th1 cells, indicating that Rictor is essential for memory CD4 T cell pool. Polyclonal memory Rictor-null and WT Tfh and Th1 cells (2 samples per group, each sample was pooled from at least 10 mice) were sorted at day 60-post LCMV Armstrong infection, followed by total RNA extracted and sent to microarray analysis.
