RNA-seq of Th1 and Th2 differentiated T helper cells re-stimulated with pma/ionomycin after 7 days of differentiation.

Naive CD4 T helper cells were isolated using magnetic negative selection kit from 4 weeks old Balb\c mice. The cells were activated with anti CD3/CD28 antibodies in the presence of Th1 th2 skewing cytokines and antibodies. The cells were disconnected for resting conditions after 48hours and further proliferated for 7 days in the presence of IL2 and skewing cytokines. In the 7th day the cells were collected and re-stimulated for 1hr using PMA/ionomycin and RNA was extracted for transcriptomics.
