Project description:Interferon and ribavirin treatment in a rhesus macaque model of novel Middle East respiratory syndrome coronavirus (MERS-CoV) infection (hCoV-EMC)
Project description:Microarray analysis of peripheral blood mononuclear cells (PBMCs), lungs, and lung lesions collected over the course of hCoV-EMC infection of 6 rhesus macaques. 6 rhesus macaques were infected intratracheally with hCoV-EMC. PBMCs were collected at days 0, 1, 3, and 6, and lungs were collected from serial sacrifices of 3 animals each at day 3 and day 6. Infection produced a mild-moderate, self-limiting respiratory infection, and was not lethal. We performed microarray analysis (using Agilent Rhesus arrays) on all lungs, lung lesions, and PBMCs collected for the study.
Project description:The purpose of the experiment was to compare placental transcriptome of rhesus macaque at approximately 80% completed gestation to human placental transcriptomes.
