RNA-seq of murine bone marrow-derived macrophages (mBMDM) of the wild type (WT) group versus the RBP-J conditionally knockout (CKO) group at 36 hours post HTNV (Hantaan orthohantavirus) infection

Total RNA was extracted from WT and RBP-JCKO mBMDMs at 36 hpi (HTMV, MOI=1), using TRIzol (Invitrogen). Ribosomal RNA was removed using the Ribo-Zero™ kit (Epicentre Biotechnologies). Fragmented RNA (the average length was approximately 200 bp) was subjected to first-strand and second-strand cDNA synthesis followed by adaptor ligation and enrichment with a low cycle according to the instructions of the NEBNext® Ultra™ RNA Library Prep Kit for Illumina (NEB). The purified library products were evaluated using the Agilent 2200 TapeStation and Qubit®2.0 (Life Technologies). The libraries were paired-end sequenced (PE150, sequencing reads were 150 bp) at Guangzhou Ribo Biotechnology (Guangzhou, China) using the Illumina HiSeq 3000 platform. Transgenic mice type: RBP-JCKO (Lyz2-Cre+ RBP-Jfloxed) C57BL/6J Mice.
