ABSTRACT: This data is part of a pre-publication release. For information on the proper use of pre-publication data shared by the Wellcome Trust Sanger Institute (including details of any publication moratoria), please see http://www.sanger.ac.uk/datasharing/ Schistosomiasis is a severe debilitating illness that represents one of the most important parasitic diseases in tropical areas. It affects over 200 million people across 74 countries. The complete genome sequence of Schistosoma mansoni was published in 2009, but immune response against this parasite is not well characterized. This study is to investigate the overall immune response, antibody and TCR repertoire of immunologically nave mice, mice infected with S.mansoni and mice challenged with a secondary schistosome infection.RNA-seq data will be used to characterise the systemic immune response of mouse to Schistosoma infection, including both whole-transcriptome sequencing for a global picture of the immune response, and sequencing the lymphocyte antigen receptor genes to get a detailed picture of the adaptive immune response.
