Total RNA was extracted from DC using a RNeasy Mini Kit (Qiagen) per the manufacturer’s instructions. NanoString analysis was similarly performed using a nCounter® Human Immunology v2 Panel (Catalogue number XT-CSO-HIM2-12, NanoString Technologies) as described.21 (link),43 (link) Gene expression data were log2-transformed and normalized to the geometric mean expression of 15 house-keeping genes using the nSolver software platform 4.0 (NanoString Technologies). Pathways were analyzed using Ingenuity Pathway Analysis (IPA) software (Qiagen).
