Transcriptional response of the mouse intestinal mucosa to infection by the parasitic nematode Trichuris muris

ABSTRACT: This data is part of a pre-publication release. For information on the proper use of pre-publication data shared by the Wellcome Trust Sanger Institute (including details of any publication moratoria), please see http://www.sanger.ac.uk/datasharing/ The human-infective whipworm Trichuris trichiura is estimated to infect up to a billion people and is responsible for considerable morbidity, especially in children of developing countries. The closely related species T. muris is a naturally occurring nematode parasite of mice that serves as a remarkably tractable model system for dissecting immune responses and host-parasite relationships. Such studies are of relevance beyond parasitology as helminths have arguably had a significant impact on the evolution of the mammalian immune system. Both
