Comment[ArrayExpressAccession] E-GEOD-50910 MAGE-TAB Version 1.1 Public Release Date 2013-09-17 Investigation Title Gene expression of thymic settling progenitors from embryos at E13 compared to E18 Comment[Submitted Name] Gene expression of thymic settling progenitors from embryos at E13 compared to E18 Experiment Description We used whole genome transcriptome as gene discovery to further understand the differential behaviour of the first (embryonic) and second waves of thymic settling progenitors in the murine embryo. Mouse embryos at days 13 and 18 of gestation were isolated and the thymic lobes were dissected. Single cell suspension was prepared and treated with biotinilated antibodies to CD3, CD4, CD8, TER119, Gr1, CD25, CD19, NK1.1 and CD11c. Cell suspensions were then incubated with streptavidin Miltenyi Macs beads. Lineage negative thymocytes were recovered in Macs columns. Cell suspensions were then incubated with antibodies against CD135, CD117, CD44, CD24 and Streptavidin bound to PECy7. Lin-, CD117+, CD44+, CD24low, CD135+ cells were then isolated by cell sorting. 3 biological replicates of each sample were isolated with 104-3x104 cells Term Source Name ArrayExpress EFO Term Source File http://www.ebi.ac.uk/arrayexpress/ http://www.ebi.ac.uk/efo/efo.owl Person Last Name Cumano Cumano Person First Name Ana Ana Person Email ana.cumano@pasteur.fr Person Affiliation Pasteur Institute Person Phone +33145688255 Person Address Immunology, Pasteur Institute, 25 Rue du Dr. Roux, Paris, France Person Roles submitter Protocol Name P-GSE50910-1 P-GSE50910-4 P-GSE50910-5 P-GSE50910-2 P-GSE50910-3 P-GSE50910-6 Protocol Description The Agilent Feature Extraction Software (FES) was used to read out and process the microarray image files. The software determines feature intensities (including background subtraction), rejects outliers and calculates statistical confidences. For determination of differential gene expression FES derived output data files were further analyzed using the Rosetta ResolverM-oM-^CM-" gene expression data analysis system (Rosetta Biosoftware). This software offers M-bM-^@M-^S among other features M-bM-^@M-^S the possibility to compare two single intensity profiles in a ratio experiment (table 4). All samples were labeled with Cy3, here, the ratio experiments are designated as control versus (vs.) sample experiments (automated data output of the ResolverM-oM-^CM-" system). Please note, that the ratios are always calculated by dividing sample signal intensity through control signal intensity. ID_REF = VALUE = processed Cy3 signal intensity (Agilent gProcessedSignal) The complete amount of each total RNA sample (except 1 M-NM-
