Project description:Human monocytes are phagocytic leucocytes which circulate in the peripheral blood and play important roles in immunity and inflammation. They also represent circulating M-^QmetabolicM-^R sentinels in plasma, uptake lipids following food intake, and contribute to atherosclerotic plaque formation. We therefore investigated their homeostatic responses to food intake in vivo and to determine the response of human monocytes to food intake. We isolated monocyte subsets from the blood of healthy volunteers one hour before and four hours after a western type lunch.
Project description:Analysis of the changes in the transcriptomic profile of Pseudomonas putida growing at 10M-:C compared to that of growing at 30M-:C.
Project description:The experimental design was to determine the regulon of the transcriptional activator RarA. This was done by comparing the transcriptome profiles between a rarA overexpressor and the baseline control. RarA overexpression was achieved by plasmid mediated overexpression of the rarA gene and the baseline control was a vector only strain.
Project description:Microarrays were used to identify genes that participate in the acid responce tolerance of C. jejuni. Three biological replicates of two different conditions (pH 5.5 and 7). Two slides and every slide contained three arrays- see attached additional file.
