Transcription profiling of human alveolar macrophages in response to P. aeruginosa and B. cepacia infections
Ontology highlight
ABSTRACT: To determine if differences in the severity of pulmonary infection in cystic fibrosis been seen in late isolates od Pseudomonas aeruginosa and Burkholderia cepacia are associated with differences in the initial repsonse of alveolar macrophages (AM) to these pathogens, we assessed gene expression changes in human AM in response to infection with a laboratoty strain, early and late clinical isolates of P. aeruginosa, and B. cepacia. Experiment Overall Design: Alveolar macrophages were obtained from bronchoalveolar lavage. Experiment Overall Design: Two clinical strains isolated from the sputum of an individual with CF, AD2A and AD15B (provided by J. Burns, University of Washington, Seattle). AD2A is an early clinical isolate, and AD15B is a late clinical isolate; both were derived from the same individual.
