Project description:Human monocyte-derived macrophages (MDM) serve as a model for resident alveolar macrophages (AM) in the human respiratory tract. mRNA-Seq analysis was used to profile the cellular transcriptome of MDM cells at multiple time points in response to infection with influenza A/California/04/09 (H1N1), A/Wyoming/03/03 (H3N2), and A/Vietnam/1203/04 (H5N1) HALo virus. The Influenza A/Vietnam/1203/04 (H5N1) HALo mutant virus is an attenuated H5N1 virus generated from wild-type Influenza A/Vietnam/1203/04 (H5N1) virus as described in Steel, J., et al. J Virol. 2009 Feb; 83(4):1742-53.
Project description:In an attempt to identify proteins interacting with transcription factor E2F2, proteins extracted from HA-E2F2 overexpressing HEK293T cells were were subjected to immunoprecipitation (IP) with an anti-HA antibody or, as a negative control (NegCt), with an anti-T antibody. Immunoprecipitated proteins were eluted, digested with trypsin, and the resulting peptides were analyzed by LC-MS/MS. The whole procedure was repeated several times in an attempt to gauge reproducibility (nine replicates of the anti-HA IP and six replicates of the control IP).
