Whole blood response of Pigs to infection with Porcine Reproductive and Respiratory Syndrome Virus (PRRSV)

ABSTRACT: Porcine reproductive and respiratory disease (PRRS) is the most important disease in swine industry worldwide. However, strategies such as vaccination and good biosecurity are not consistently successful to eliminate PRRSV. Although some gene expression pathways have been explored recently, host molecular pathways blocked by PRRSV and the protective immune response expressed in pigs resistant to PRRSV are largely unknown. In order to answer these questions, we herein characterize changes in blood gene expression in pigs responding differentially to infection with a well characterized type 2 (North American) PRRSV isolate. Samples are those collected through the PRRS Host Genetics Consortium (PHGC). Samples were those from Tempus tube collected blood of PHGC pigs selected from four respons
