Single cell RNA sequencing of murine gamma delta T cells from wild type and beta2 integrin-deficient (CD18 KO) lungs

The beta2 integrin subunit (CD18) is thought to regulate gamma delta T cells in vivo. The objective of this study was to determine the gene expression changes mediated by loss of CD18 in lung gamma delta T cells. Single cell RNA sequencing was performed on gamma delta T cells (CD3+ gamma delta TCR+) isolated from the lungs of wild type C57BL/6 mice (N=2) and CD18 knockout (Itgb2-/-) mice (N=1).
