Project description:We focused on how Mycobacterium avium subsp. paratuberculosis influences the subsequent host response to investigate the host immunopathology accompanying the host anti-mycobacterial immune response during Mycobacterium avium subsp. paratuberculosis infection in spleen of mice.
Project description:We focused on how Mycobacterium avium subsp. paratuberculosis influences the subsequent host response to investigate the host immunopathology accompanying the host anti-mycobacterial immune response during Mycobacterium avium subsp. paratuberculosis infection in spleen of mice. We analyzed altered transcription in the spleen of mice at 3, 6, and 12 weeks following Mycobacterium avium subsp. paratuberculosis infection.
Project description:To provide novel insights into understanding the host-immune response during the different stages of progression of the disease, we performed gene expression profiling in Mycobacterium avium subsp. paratuberculosis infection in cattle.
Project description:Detection of species-specific proteotypic peptides for accurate and easy characterization of infectious non-tuberculous mycobacteria such as Mycobacterium avium subsp. paratuberculosis, Mycobacterium marinum and Mycobacterium vaccae is essential. Therefore, we carried out reanalysis of publicly available M. avium subsp. paratuberculosis, M. marinum and M. vaccae proteomic dataset PXD027444, PXD003766 and PASS00954 by proteome database search and followed by spectral library generation. The raw DDA data were searched against their respective reference proteome databases using Proteome Discoverer and FragPipe. The resulting peptide spectrum matches were converted into a spectral library using BiblioSpec.
Project description:Transcriptional responses of two strain types of Mycobacterium avium subsp. paratuberculosis (MAP, cattle and sheep Strain) under in vitro iron limiting or iron sufficient growth conditions. Background: In MAP, the transcriptional role and essentiality of MAP2827 (IdeR) as an iron dependent regulator has been well established (Janagama et al. 2009). Therefore, in the absence of an ideR deletion mutant of MAP, to understand the genome-wide iron dependent transcriptional variations between the cattle and sheep MAP IdeR we used a heterologous expression of MAP IdeR in Mycobacterium smegmatis ideR deletion mutant.
Project description:Detection of species-specific proteotypic peptides for accurate and easy characterization of infectious non-tuberculous mycobacteria such as Mycobacterium avium subsp. paratuberculosis is essential. Therefore, we conducted an in-depth global proteomic experiment using M. avium subsp. paratuberculosis ATCC 19698 (Map) strain followed by proteome database search and spectral library generation. The lysate was subjected to in-solution proteomic sample preparation and fractionated using an offline C18 StageTip. Each fraction was acquired in technical triplicates using a 180 min data-dependent acquisition (DDA) method in Orbitrap Fusion Tribrid (Thermo Scientific) mass spectrometer. The resulting raw DDA data were searched against the M. avium subsp. paratuberculosis proteome database using Proteome Discoverer and FragPipe. The resulting peptide spectrum matches were converted into a spectral library using BiblioSpec.
