Project description:The Virochip microarray (version 4.0) was used to detect viruses in patients from North America with unexplained influenza-like illness at the onset of the 2009 H1N1 pandemic. We used metagenomics-based technologies (the Virochip microarray) and deep sequencing to analyze nasal swab samples from individuals with 2009 H1N1 infection. This Series includes the Virochip microarray data only.

Project description:The determinants of influenza transmission remain poorly understood. Swine influenza viruses preferentially attach to receptors found in the upper airways; however, most swine influenza viruses fail to transmit efficiently from swine to humans, and from human-to-human. The pandemic 2009 H1N1 (H1N1pdm) virus was a rare exception of a swine virus that acquired efficient transmissibility from human-to-human, and is reflected in efficient respiratory droplet transmission in ferrets. We hypothesize that virus-induced host responses in the upper airways correlate with airborne transmission in ferrets. To address this question, we used the H1N1pdm virus and swine influenza A/swine/Hong Kong/201/2010 (HK201) virus that has comparable titre in the ferret nasopharynx, but it exhibits differential transmissibility in ferrets via respiratory droplet route. We performed a transcriptomic analysis of tissues from the upper and lower respiratory tract from ferrets infected with either H1N1pdm or HK201 viruses using ferret-specific Agilent oligonucleotide arrays. We found differences in the kinetics of the innate immune response elicited by these two viruses that varied across tissues.

Project description:As virus diseases cannot be controlled by traditional plant protection methods the risk of their spread have to be minimized on vegetatively propagated plants, such as grapevine. Metagenomics approaches used for virus diagnostics, offer a unique opportunity to reveal the presence of all viral pathogens in the investigated plant, why their usage can reduce the risk of using infected material for a new plantation. Here we used a special field, deep sequencing of virus derived small RNAs, of this high throughput method for virus diagnostics and determined viromes of vineyards in Hungary. With NGS of virus derived small RNAs we could detect not only the viruses tested routinely, but also new ones, which have never been described in Hungary before. Virus presence didn’t correlated with the age of the plantation, moreover phylogenetic analysis of the identified virus isolates suggests that infections mostly caused by the usage of infected propagating material. Our results, validated by other molecular methods, highlighted further questions to be answered before these method can be introduced as a routine, reliable test for grapevine virus diagnostics.

Project description:Foxp3+ regulatory T cells (Treg) play a central role for tolerance against self and innocuous environmental antigens. However, the role of antigen-specificity for Treg-mediated tolerance is only incompletely understood. Here we show by direct ex vivo characterization of human CD4+ T cells, that the response against innocuous airborne antigens, such as plant pollen or fungal spores, is dominated by memory-like antigen-specific Treg. Surprisingly, breakdown of tolerance in atopic donors was not accompanied by a quantitatively or qualitatively altered Treg response, but instead correlated with a striking dichotomy of Treg versus Th2 target specificity. Allergenic proteins, are selectively targeted by Th2 cells, but not Treg. Thus human Treg specific for airborne antigens maintain tolerance at mucosal sites and the failure to generate specific Treg against a subgroup of antigens provides a window of opportunity for allergy development. PBMCs from sex and age matched birch pollen allergic patients and healthy controls, were stimulated (7h) with airborne fungal (A. fumigatus) or birch pollen antigen (birch) and sorted into antigen specific conventional and regulatory T cells according to their expression of CD154+ and CD137+ on CD4+ T cells, respectively. Number of samples per group in parentheses: Healthy controls stimulated with A. fumigatus (n=5), allergic patients stimulated with A. fumigatus (n=6), healthy controls stimulated with birch (n=6), allergic patients stimulated with birch (n=4).

Project description:A high-density oligonucleotide microarray that targets functional genes in marine microbial community was designed as a result of a multi-institutional effort. The design is based on nucleotide sequence data obtained with metagenomics and metatranscriptomics. The chip targets ~20000 gene sequences represented by 145 gene categories relevant to microbial metabolism in the open ocean and coastal environments. The three domains of life and also viruses are represented on the chip. Using this microarray we were able to compare the functional responses of microbial communities to iron and phosphate enrichments in samples from the North Pacific Subtropical Gyre. The response was attributed to individual lineages of microorganisms including uncharacterized strains. Transcription of 68% of the gene probes was detected from a variety of microorganisms, and the patterns of gene transcription indicated a relief from iron limitation and transition into nitrogen limitation. When combined with physicochemical descriptions of each system, the use of microarrays can help to develop a comprehensive understanding of the changes in microbially-driven processes. We analyzed three samples amended with phosphate and two sample amended with iron (III) after 48h of incubation

Project description:We report changes in H3K27ac following LPS stimulation in Detroit 562 cells. We were able to identified LPS-increased H3K27ac regions which correlated with RELA binding as well as gene up-regulation. This data set is relevant for airborne bacterial sensing as Detroit 562 cells are nasopharyngeal epithelial cells and LPS is a gram negative bacterial endotoxin.
