Project description:Bordetella pertussis is the etiological agent of whooping cough, a bacterial infection of especially children, which may be fatal without treatment. In frame of studies to investigate putative effects of vaccination on host-pathogen interaction and clonal distribution of strains, in addition to Corynebacterium diphtheriae and Clostridium tetani toxoid vaccines, also whole-cell and acellular pertussis vaccines were analyzed by mass spectrometry.
Project description:Porcine alveolar macrophages (PAMs) play impoartant role in innate immunity. Haemophilus parasuis is the etiological agent of Glasser’s disease in pigs. Haemophilus parasuis is the etiological agent of Glasser’s disease in pigs. We used microarrays to study the transcriptome of PAMs infection with HPS4.

Haemophilus parasuis is the etiological agent of Glasser’s disease in pigs. We used microarrays to study the transcriptome of PAMs infection with HPS4. Healthy Pigs were inoculated intranasally with 2 ml of 4.5×108CFU/ml colony forming units of HPS4 strain MD0322. And the PAMs were isolated at 28 dpi. RNA extraction were extracted from PAMs that obtained from infection pigs and control pigs and hybridization on Affymetrix microarrays.
