Project description:Global transcriptome analyses provide an excellent basis for the identification and definition of biomarkers with high relevance in infection processes, therapeutic intervention and protective immunity. The measurement applies three different state of the art transcriptomic technologies for global expression profiling to vaccine development. Different microarray platforms in conjunct to next generation sequencing (NGS) will build the basis for comparative approaches, such as up-down classification and correlation coefficients. This measurement is based on Agilent microarrays and a pre-clinical study with M. bovis BCG vaccination, using two different non-human primate Chinese and Indian rhesus macaque spectrotypes. • Surrogate measurement using whole blood RNA • 7 time points: d-14 and d0 (naïve, pre-immunization) and d1, d3, d7, d21, d42 post M. bovis BCG immunization • Responses of two macaque spectrotypes • Group size of 6 animals European network of vaccine research and development (TRANSVAC)
Project description:Splenic tissue was isolated from four adult male Indian-origin Rhesus monkeys serologically positive for non-pathogenic SHIV 89.6 and from matched uninfected four adult male Indian-origin Rhesus monkeys respectively. The corresponding RNA was processed by cDNA microarray analysis. Keywords: SIV infection
Project description:The purpose of the experiment was to compare placental transcriptome of rhesus macaque at approximately 80% completed gestation to human placental transcriptomes.
Project description:Splenic tissue was isolated from four adult male Indian-origin Rhesus monkeys serologically positive for non-pathogenic SHIV 89.6 and from matched uninfected four adult male Indian-origin Rhesus monkeys respectively. The corresponding RNA was processed by cDNA microarray analysis. Sample RNA extracted from the tissue samples. Reference RNA was prepared from a pool of Rhesus monkeys' RNA. Microarray hybridization was carried out by labeling Reference RNA as Cy3 and sample RNA as Cy5. The sample was incubated at 55C for 16hr.
