ABSTRACT: Characterizing the interactions between a naturally-primed IgA and its conserved Bacteroides thetaiotaomicron species-specific epitope in gnotobiotic mice
Project description:Comparisons of gnotobiotic Rag1-/- mice, with and without subcutaneous 260.8 hybridomas, disclosed that this IgA does not affect B. thetaiotaomicron population density or suppress 260.8 epitope production but does affect bacterial gene expression in ways that are emblematic of a diminished host innate immune response. C57BL/6 wildtype, C57BL/6J Rag1-/- , and C57BL/6J Rag1-/- mice harboring the 260.8 IgA producing hybridoma were colonized for 10 days with Bacteroides thetaiotaomicron VPI-5482.

Project description:Rag1-/- C57BL/6 or Rag1-/- C57BL/6 injected with the IgA producing hybridoma producing 225.4 anti- Bacteroides thetaiotaomicron (Capsular polysaccharide 4 dependent carbohydrate epitope specific epitope) mice were colonized with B. thetaiotaomicron wildtype strain VPI-5482 for 10 days. Cecal bacteria were harvested and snap frozen and RNA isolated. Keywords: Single time point, experimental and control groups.

Project description:Transcriptional profiling of Salmonella typhimurium in the ceca of germ-free and Bacteroides thetaiotaomicron-monoassociated gnotobiotic mice. Comparison with response in MM-Glucose. In vivo transcriptional profiles of Salmonella typhimurium obtained from biological triplicate samples taken from cecal contents of germ-free and Bacteroides thetaiotaomicron-monoassociated mice 5 days post-infection with S. typhimurium. Biological duplicate samples from in vitro culture of S. typhimurium in MM-Glucose used for comparision.

Project description:We report the mid-log phase transcriptional profile of the human gut symbiont Bacteroides thetaiotaomicron, grown in the presence of mouse monoclonal IgAs with species- and strain-level specificity (mAb 260.8 and mAb 225.4, respectively). mRNA expression profiling of the type strain of Bacteroides thetaiotaomicron (NC_004663) grown in vitro in the presence of either (i) PBS (carrier control), (ii) mAb 225.4 alone, (iii) mAb 260.8 alone, (iv) an equal combination of mAbs 225.4 and 260.8, or (v) a nonbinding control mouse mAb IgA (JC63.1)
