This SuperSeries is composed of the following SubSeries:

GSE33374 Expression data from healthy human CD161++CD8aa and CD161++CD8ab T cells

GSE33424 Expression data from human cord blood CD161++/CD161+/CD161- CD8+ T cell subsets

Microarray was used to compare gene expression between CD161++/CD161+/CD161-CD8+ T cells from human cord blood.

Lymphocytes from freshly obtained human cord blood samples were isolated by Ficoll density centrifugation. CD8+ T cells were purified by negative selection using magnetic beads and subsequently labelled with fluorescent antibodies prior to sorting using MoFlo MLS cell sorter (Dako).
