RNA-seq of Tfh cells from BALB/c and C57Bl/6 mice immunized with OVA-IFA or OVA-CpG

The aim of the project was the identification of the transcriptional signature of effector T cells and Tfh cells that emerge following immunization with different adjuvants. For this purpose OVA-specific TCR-transgenic cells (from DO11.10 or OT-II mice) were adoptively transferred into congenic BALB/c or C57Bl/6 mice, subsequently immunized with OVA-IFA or OVA-CpG. At day 11, the OVA-specific T effector and Tfh cells were FACS sorted from the draining lymph nodes for RNA sequencing.
