Cytokine and chemokine profile of purified cholangiocytes isolated ex vivo from murine balanced salt solution (BSS) control and Rhesus rotavirus (RRV)-induced biliary atresia (BA) mice. Cholangiocytes were isolated by magnetic cell sorting (purity > 98%) from pooled liver samples of either BSS control or BA mice. RNA was extracted and RT-PCR was performed on cDNA using interleukin (IL)-1β, IL-6, tumour necrosis factor-α (TNF-α), interferon-γ (IFN-γ), transforming growth factor-β (TGF-β), monokine induced by γ-interferon (MIG), macrophage inflammatory protein-1α (MIP-1α), γ-interferon inducible protein-10 (IP-10) and regulated upon activation, normal T-cell expressed and secreted (RANTES) primer pairs.
