Determining Genes that may Contribute to CNS Demyelination in ILC2−/− Mice
LC2-deficient mice or ILC2-deficient mice that received ILC2 from WT mice were infected with HSV1-IL-2. On day 14 PI, RNA was isolated from brains of ILC2-deficient mice or ILC2-deficient mice that received ILC2 from WT as described in Figure 3. qRT-PCR was performed using total RNA, and expression of respective genes in naive ILC2-deficient mice was used as a baseline to estimate relative expression of each transcript in brains of virus-infected mice. GAPDH expression was used to normalize the relative expression of each transcript. Each point represents the mean ± SEM from three brains for each group of mice. p value was determined using a one-way ANOVA test.
