Description
To study differential gene expression of TCLs upon TCR signaling, three TCL primary cells and one TCL cell line T8ML1 were chosen for this study. The prmiary TCL cells consist of TCL1 and TCL2 (sezary patients) and TCL3 (PTCL, NOS patient). The TCR signaling was engaged by anti-CD3/CD28 treatment in vitro. The TCL cells were treated without/with anti-CD3/CD28 for different time periods in vitro in cell culture. The total RNA was isolated from the TCLs and subjected to affimetry microarray (GPL17692) analysis. The differential gene expression of individual TCL was identified as well as a set of common genes invloved in TCR signaling in TCLs.
