RNA-seq of splenic and LN B cells from WT and Gm40600 Tg mice with or without LPS stimulation

We found that Gm40600 significantly affects plasmablast(PB)-like SP 2/0 cells. To explore the role of Gm40600 in B-cell especially plasma cell (PC) differentiation, we developed Gm40600 Transgenic (Gm40600 Tg) mice. B cells from spleen and lymph nodes (LNs) of WT and Gm40600 Tg mice were sorted by using B220 microbeads. B cells were also stimulated for 3 days by 10 ug/ml LPS. To explore the effect of Gm40600 overexpression on gene expression, we determined mRNA profiles in B cells from WT and Gm40600 Tg mice and LPS-stimulated B cells by RNA-seq. RNA-seq was done with an Illumina HiSeq 2500 instrument at GENEWIZ, Suzhou, China.
