Project description:The overall effect of VP35 on host gene expression were investigated by the differentially expressed genes (DEG) analysis in cells transfected with or without Flag-VP35 Gene expression in HepG2 cells transfected with VP35 or vector was analyzed with a gene expression microarray
Project description:The purpose of this experiment was to obtain samples for mRNA analysis in IHH cells infected with Zaire Ebola virus and mutants: Zaire Ebola virus: This wild-type Ebola virus - strain Mayinga - was isolated from a fatal human case in Zaire (now known as the Democratic Republic of Congo) in 1976 Zaire Ebola virus, VP35 R312A possesses a R312A mutation in the VP35 protein. Zaire Ebola virus, delta sGP. Lacks the ability to produce non-structural protein, the secreted glycoprotein (sGP). Zaire Ebola virus, delta mucin. Lacks the mucin-like domain (MLD), which contains both N-linked and O-linked glycosylation sites, for the glycoproteins.

Lacks the mucin-like domain (MLD), which contains both N-linked and O-linked glycosylation sites, for the glycoproteins. Overview of Experiment: Cells: Immortalized Human Hepatocytes (IHH); seed 60,000 cells per well in a 24-well plate. Infected with a multiplicity of infection (MOI) of 0.5. After infection, 3x wash with PBS and replace with 5% FCS DMEM without NaPyr or NEAA. Time matched mocks done in triplicate from same cell stock as rest of samples. Time Points = 0, 6, 12, 24, 48, and 72 hrs post infection in triplicate.

Project description:The purpose is to obtain samples for mRNA analysis in human U937 cells infected with Zaire Ebola virus wild-type in the deltaVP30 background and delta-mucin virus. Human U937 cells (monocyte-like) expressing the Ebola VP30 protein were infected with Zaire Ebola virus wild-type (wild) in the delta-VP30 background and delta-mucin virus (encodes a GP lacking the mucin domain) (mucin). Infected samples were collected in quintuplet; time-matched mocks were collected in quintuplet in parallel with infected samples. Time points: 0, 8, 18, and 30 h post-infection.
Project description:Immune patterns in Ebola patients were characterized depending on the outcome of the illness. Non-healthy controls were compared to Ebola patients to define the specificity of the immune response against Ebola virus infection.
