Project description:Global transcriptional responses in duodenal intestinal epithelia of chickens following primary and secondary Eimeria acervulina infections.
Project description:Whole sporozoite proteins of Eimeria acervulina were prepared and analyzed by 2-dimensional gel electrophoresis (2-DE) followed by Western blotting using immune sera specific to E. tenella, E. acervulina, or E. necatrix.
Project description:We constructed genetically modified Eimeria acervulina that expressed VP2 protein, a protective antigen from infectious bursal disease virus (IBDV), on the surface or in the microneme of sporozoites. we identified the transgenic E. acervulina expressing VP2 by RT-qPCR,LC-MSMS and Werstern Blot.
Project description:Global transcriptional responses in duodenal intestinal epithelia of chickens following primary and secondary Eimeria acervulina infections. Simple loop hybridization (day 0 vs. days 1-2, days 1-2 vs. 3-4, days 3-4 vs. 5-6, and days 5-6 vs. 7-8) per primary or secondary infections.
Project description:In a collaboration between Welcome Trust Sanger Institute (WTSI), Royal Veterinary College (RVC) and King Abdullah University of Science and Technology (KAUST), we have sequenced, assembled and annotated the genome of Eimeria acervulina Houghton.
