tissue: bone marrow cell type: natural killer (NK) cells
Growth protocol
Prior to MoFlo sorting, single cell suspensions were stained with the following antibodies: FITC-conjugated anti-CD56 (HCD56) (Biolegend, San Diego, USA), PE-conjugated anti-CD16 (368) (Biolegend, San Diego, USA) APC-conjugated anti-CD3 (UCHT1) (Biolegend, San Diego, USA) PE-Cy7-conjugated anti-CD19 (HIB19) (Biolegend, San Diego, USA). NK cell purity, functional properties and subset distribution was analyzed by FACS Canto II (BD Biosciences, Heidelberg, Germany) and use of the FlowJo Software (Treestar, Ashland, Oregon, USA).
Extracted molecule
total RNA
Extraction protocol
RNA was isolated from freshly sorted NK subsets using the RNeasy Mini/Micro Kit (QIAGEN, Hilden, Germany) according to the manufacturer's instructions. RNA quality was checked using the Agilent 2100 Bioanalyzer.
Label

Description
Gene expression of freshly sorted NK cells.
Data processing
RMA normalization algorithm was applied through the affy package from R. The limma package from R was used for statistical calculations.
