This article is the first to provide characterization data regarding naive C57BL/6 transgenic mice with overexpression of B lymphocyte-induced maturation protein 1 (Blimp-1) under a T cell-specific pLCK promoter. The data presented are related to phenotype, Blimp-1 overexpression levels, T cell development and T cell proliferation for Blimp-1 transgenic mice. For further Blimp-1 overexpressed T cell findings regarding skin allotransplantation, please refer to the research article "Blimp-1 prolongs allograft survival without regimen via influencing T cell development in favor of regulatory T cells while suppressing Th1" (Wang et al., 2018) [1].

Transgenic Plants
The first-ever transgenic plant was a tobacco plant developed in 1983 that showed resistance against the tobacco mosaic virus. Since then, many transgenic plants have been developed and commercialized for improving the agricultural, ornamental, and horticultural value of a crop plant. Transgenic...

How Data are Classified: Categorical Data
Data are classified based on whether they are measurable or not. Categorical data cannot be measured; instead, it can be divided into categories. For example, if Y denotes a person's party affiliation, some examples of Y include...
