mRNA expression profiling of human immune cell subset (Roche)-GSE28490

Nine cell subsets (CD16+CD66b+ Neutrophils, CD16-CD66b+ Eosinophils, CD14+ Monocytes, CD4+ T cells, CD8+ T cells, CD56+ NK cells, CD19+ B cells, CD123+ pDCs and CD11c+ mDCs) were isolated from healthy human blood and assessed for cell type purity by flow cytometry. Cell types were isolated from 5 pools of 5 healthy donors each, with the exception for monocytes, where 10 pools were used. RNA obtained from these purified populations were subsequently used for miRNA and mRNA expression profiling by Affymetrix GeneChip miRNA and HG-U133Plus2.0 microarrays.
