Project description:Expression data from Porcine alveolar macrophages of piglets experimentally infected with Streptococcus suis serotype 2 (SS2) for 7 days
Project description:Expression data from Porcine alveolar macrophages of piglets experimentally infected with Haemophilus parasuis serotype 4 (HPS4) for 28 days
Project description:Porcine alveolar macrophages (PAMs) play an important role in innate immunity. Streptococcus suis serotype 2 is a pathogen responsible for several diseases in both pigs and humans. We used microarrays to study the transcriptome of PAMs infected with SS2.
Project description:Streptococcus suis serotype 2 is an important pathogen of pigs, and the disease it causes is characterized by meningitis, septicaemia and pneumonia with high mortality. The pathogen is also an emerging zoonotic agent and threatens humans that are exposed to pigs or their by-products. We investigated the response of PBMC (Peripheral Blood Mononuclear Cell), brain and lung tissues to infection with S. suis 2 strain SC19 by using the Affymetrix Porcine Genome Array.
Project description:Swine H1N1 influenza virus and streptococcus suis serotype 2 (SS2) are two important contributors to the porcine respiratory disease complex, which have significant economic impacts. Clinically, swine influenza virus and swine streptococcus suis co-infection is common, which will increase the mortality. However, the pathogenesis of the co-infection remains largely unkown. To explore it, gene expression profiling was to performed to detect comprehensive analysis of the global host response induced by H1N1 virus infection alone, SS2 infection alone, H1N1-SS2 co-infection and PBS control.
