RNA-sequencing of human lymph node and peripheral blood T follicular helper cells. RNA-sequencing of human lymph node and peripheral blood T follicular helper cells

Total mRNA-sequencing on memory T helper cell populations from human blood and lymph nodes. Overall design: Paired blood and lymph node samples were taken from patients recruited from the renal transplant live donor program at Cambridge University Hospitals NHS Foundation Trust, and who provided informed consent. All patients were either receiving or within 6 months of requiring renal replacement therapy. Patients taking immunosuppressive medication prior to transplant were excluded. mRNA was isolated from flow sorted CD4+ T cell populations and RNA-sequencing performed.
