Project description:In this study, the composition of ES of male and female L4 stage Heligmosomoides polygyrus bakeri in the presence (cultured together) or absence (cultured alone) of the opposite sex was examined using mass spectrometry.
Project description:Protein deficiency and intestinal parasite infection during pregnancy impair fetal growth through passage of signals from the maternal environment which signal impairment of fetal growth. The placenta is an important regulator of the transfer of these signals through differential expression of key placental genes. We used microarrays to examine placental gene expression responses to maternal protein deficiency (6% vs. 24% protein) and Heligmosomoides bakeri infection. 2x2 factorial.
Project description:Pregnant mice were infected with Heligmosomoides bakeri nematode on gestation day 7, 12 and 17 and on postnatal day 3. Pup brain were collected on postnatal day 2 and 7 and sequenced in illumina HiSeq4000 PE100 sequencing lane
