Transcription profiling of Strongyloides ratti response to environmental factors ex vivo
Ontology highlight
ABSTRACT: Strongyloides ratti is a parasitic nematode of rats and a laboratory model for nematode infection more generally. The aim of this experiment was to determine the gene expression response of parasitic females to abiotic factors in its environment ex vivo that may be relevant to its natural environment in the gut in vivo. Thus, we used cDNA arrays to assay transcriptional responses to high and low salt, to RPMI versus PBS media and to 37C versus 40C. A moderate number of gene expression changes were observed.
