Project description:Comparison of the gene expression profile of Moraxella catarrhalis grown in the presence of 20% pooled human sputum in chemically-defined medium relative to Moraxella catarrhalis grown in chemically-defined medium alone.
Project description:Comparison of the gene expression profile of Moraxella catarrhalis grown in the presence of 20% pooled human sputum in chemically-defined medium relative to Moraxella catarrhalis grown in chemically-defined medium alone. Moraxella catarrhalis ATCC43617 was grown to mid-logarithmic phase either in the presence of 20% pooled human sputum in chemically-defined medium or in chemically-defined medium alone. Total RNA was extracted from bacterial cells exposed to each of these conditions and cDNA was generated for CyDye labelling. 3 biologic replicates were generated and each replicate underwent a dye swap (total of 6 experimental data collections). The gene expression profile reported is that of Moraxella catarrhalis grown in the presence of pooled human sputum in a chemically-defined medium relative to Moraxella catarrhalis grown only in the presence of the chemically-defined medium.
Project description:To investigate whether C. parvum treatment of DCs regulates other inflammatory genes, mouse BMDCs (CD11c and CD11b positive) were treated with C. parvum for 24 hr. Control groups included untreated BMDCs and DCs treated with E. cuniculi. We noticed that a significant upregulation of the expression of interferon-related genes, which may correlation the critical role of interferon in host defense against C. parvum infection. DCs were treated with C. parvum for 24 hr. Control groups included untreated BMDCs and DCs treated with E. cuniculi. Group comparison was performed using the data of 3 replicate arrays from each time point.
Project description:Investigation of whole genome gene expression level changes in Lactococcus lactis KCTC 3769T,L. raffinolactis DSM 20443T, L. plantarum DSM 20686T, L. fujiensis JSM 16395T, L. garvieae KCTC 3772T, L. piscium DSM 6634T and L. chungangensis CAU 28T . This proves that transcriptional profiling can facilitate in elucidating the genetic distance between closely related strains.
