Expression data of CD117+ splenocytes from C57BL/6 WT and RasGRP4 KO mice upon LPS stimulation

RasGRP4 is required for CD117+ DCs to optimally induce certain NK cell-dependent immune responses in vivo and in vitro in response to LPSRasGRP4 expressed in DCs played an important role on NK cell IFN-γ secretion . We used microarrays to detail the global programme of gene expression underlying cellularisation and identified distinct classes of up-regulated or down-regulated genes between the two DCs from WT and RasGRP4 mice respectively upon LPS stimulation. CD117+splenocytes were extracted from WT and RasGRP4 KO mice spleens aged 9-12 weeks and plated in 6-well plates with 1ug/mL of LPS for 0h,6h,12h,24h and 48h repectively for RNA extraction and hybridization on Affymetrix microarrays.
