Project description:Virus infections induce cellular gene up and down regulation, and these changes often provide clues to cellular pathways utilized by viruses. We used microarrays to examine the transcriptional responses of cultured Drosophila S2 cells to infection with Flock House virus (FHV). Experiment Overall Design: Cultured S2 cells were infected with FHV at an MOI of 10 and we measured global transcript levels at 12 h after infection compared to control mock infected cells using Affymetrix Drosophila Genome 1.0 microarray chips.
Project description:Identification of the interaction partners of the protein ecdysoneless (Ecd) in Drosophila melanogaster S2 cells as well as profiling of the changes in binding for mutant, truncated Ecd del34 protein.
