Project description:To find the differences in innate immune response between nonpathogenic and pathogenic SIV infection, we examined transcriptome in PBMCs from macaques infected with pathogenic or nonpathogenic SIV.
Project description:To find the differences in innate immune response between nonpathogenic and pathogenic SIV infection, we examined transcriptome in PBMCs from macques infected with pathogenic or nonpathogenic SIV. Juvenile macaques were intavenousy infected with SIVmac239 or M-bM-^HM-^F5G. Blood samples were collected at 1 week and 3 weeks pi. Total RNA from the PBMCs were used for the microarray analysis.
Project description:We studied the effects of polyamine pathway inhibitors on differentiation of nonpathogenic Th17 cellsin vitro. Here, we used difluoromethylornithine (DFMO), an irreversible inhibitor of ODC1, the enzyme that catalyzes the conversion of ornithine to putrescine.
