All expression data was obtained from Affymetrix MOE 430 2.0 chips. Normalization and expression modeling were performed in the R statistical computing environment, with extensive use of the Bioconductor suite of R packages. In particular, probe level summaries were computed using the GC-RMA method (Wu et. al (2003)). The GC-RMA normalized data for each treatment and for the entire study are available for download through this site.
This link leads to a table showing the schemes used to purify each cell type. All cells were primary cells freshly isolated using a combination of magnetic and flow cytometric sorting with the indicated markers. Initial populations were derived from the tissue indicated in the third column (1)- activated T cells were obtained by stimulation with conconavalin A for 8-11 hours in vitro. Because of the difficulty in obtaining RNA from terminally differentitated erythroid cells, the erythrocyte population is the only one that contains substantial numbers of cell-type specific progenitors. The correlation coefficient (R2) that indicates the similarity between the two arrays for each population is indicated in the leftmost column.
