Project description:To study the role of Dengue virus serotype 4 NS1 in modulation of host cell transcriptome we performed gene expression profiling using data obtained from RNA- sequencing of total RNA from 3 different samples: Huh7 cells (no transfection), Huh7 cells transfected with pTracer-SV40 empty vector and Huh7 cells transfected with pTracer-SV40 encoding dengue virus serotype 4 NS1 (pDENV4 NS1).
Project description:Human primary monocytes were differentiated for 6days in the presence of M-CSF. The resulting macrophages were infected with dengue virus serotype 2, strain 16681 under the following conditions: Mock, Multiplicity of infection (MOI) 1 without antibodies, MOI 1 with 40ng/mL of irrelevant human antibody, MOI 1 with infection enhancing antibody (40ng/mL of a human monoclonal antibody against dengue), and either MOI 5 or MOI 2.5. Total cell RNA was isolated at 2h post infection or 24h post infection.
Project description:Investigation of whole genome gene expression level changes in Moyo-S and Moyo-R strains of Aedes aegypti after oral infection of serotype 1, serotype 2, serotype 3 and serotype 4 of dengue virus The Moyo-S is highly suscpetible to dengue infection whereas Moyo-R is refractory to the dengue infection. They have been investigated in our previous studies incluidng Behura et al. (2011). PLoS neglected tropical diseases 5 (11), e1385; and Chauhan et al. (2012). PloS one 7 (10), e47350.
