Project description:Method development for protein extraction from microscopic biominerals. The method was developed using Hong Kong oyster larval shells
Project description:Here we reported 226 sperm proteins from the Hong Kong oyster Crassostrea hongkongensis. Proteins extracted from three sperm samples were separated by SDS-PAGE, analyzed by LC-MS/MS and identified using Mascot.
Project description:We have worked on skin explants and activated T cells locally with a CD3 antibody, whole biopsies were activated, then epidermal and dermal RNA was sequenced. Sequencing was performed by BGI (Hong Kong) as well as the group analysis.
Project description:RNA sequencing was carried out at BGI, Hong Kong on an Illumina HiSeq platform to compare gene expression in Acinetobacter baumannii strain S1 and an adeAB deletion mutant in this strain.
Project description:This animal study was approved by the Ethics Committee at school of Chinese medicine,Hong Kong Baptist University. A total of 4 female and 4 male C57BL/6 mices were included in control diet group (BC); A total of 4 female and 4 male C57BL/6 mices were included in high fat diet group (BT).
Project description:Genomic DNA from 55 wild type Col x Ler F2 individuals was extracted using the CTAB method. Equal amounts of DNA from these 55 plants were pooled into two groups (pool 1 = 4 plants; pool 2 = 51 plants), and nine micrograms of gDNA from each pool was used to generate Nanopore sequencing libraries with the Ligation Sequencing Kit V14 (Nanopore, SQK-LSK114). The libraries were sequenced independently using PromethION (BGI, Hong Kong).
Project description:Susceptible (DBA/2J, 129/SvImJ, A/J) and Resistant (SM/J, C57BL/6J, Balb/cJ) mouse strain were inoculated with a highly pathogenic H5N1 influenza A virus (A/Hong Kong/213/2003) for 72 hours or not infected (control animals). Differences in expression were analyzed and used to identify candidate genes and pathways that contributed to the difference in H5N1 pathogenesis in these two groups of mice.
