Chicken erythrocytes stimulated with LPS, PGN and Poly(I:C)

ABSTRACT: Erythrocytes represent the most abundant cell type of the bloodstream in all vertebrates. The principal feature that differenciates erythrocytes of non-mammals is that unlike mammals they mantain the nucleus in their terminal differentiation. While the main function associated to erythrocytes is the oxygen and carbon dioxide transport, some other functions, no less important, have been attributed to these cells. The focus of this study was to investigate the response of cultured chicken erythrocytes to bacterial lipopolysaccharide (LPS), bacterial peptidoglycan (PGN) and to the analog viral dsRNA Poly(I:C) using a comercial microarray platform from Agilent. Chicken erythrocytes were isolated from blood by twice Ficoll 1.007 density gradient centrifugations. For primary cell culture, erythr
