Identification of the Early VIP Transriptome and its Associated Interactome in Resting Murine CD4 T Cells. Mus musculus

Identification of the Early Vasoactive Intestinal Peptide (VIP) Transriptome and its Associated Interactome in Resting Murine CD4 T Cells In an attempt to understand the biological role of this neuropeptide in the immune system, we choose CD4 T cells as a cellular system for identifying a VIP-induced transcriptome. Murine CD4 T cells were isolated and used to identify changes in gene expression in the absence of PMA/ionomycin (resting) with and without 10-7 M VIP. Overall design: Balanced-block design, 6 biological replicates. Naïve mouse CD4 T spleenocytes with VIP ligand (sample) vs. naïve mouse CD4 T spleenocytes without VIP ligand (control), dye-swaps.
