Dataset: Influence of type I Interferons on function of splenic conventional dendritic cells.

Type I Interferons encompasses a large family of closely related cytokines comprising of at least 13 IFN-α isotypes and single IFN-β. Both IFN-α and IFN-β exert their activity through a common receptor IFNAR. Type I Interferons have broad regulatory effects and various subtypes of dendritic cells are influenced by this cytokines. In our study we asked question whether the low, constitutive levels of type I Interferons produced under steady state conditions are important for proper function of splenic conventional dendritic cells. In this approach we sorted out two populations (CD8α+ and CD8α-) of splenic dendritic cells (DCs) from untreated WT, IFN-β-/- and IFNAR-/- C57Bl/6 mice. All mice were between 8-10 weeks old. Further we isolated RNA and performed microarray analysis. Each DCs population was repeated twice.
