Project description:Rhesus macaques vaccinated by rhesus cytomegalovirus vectors expressing simian immunodeficiency virus proteins (RhCMV/SIV) activate gene expression signature associated with IL15. To examine the gene expression signature activated by IL15, we performed longitudinal examinations of rhesus macaques during IL15 treament.
Project description:This SuperSeries is composed of the following subset Series: GSE33090: Dramatic effects of social behavior on gene regulation in rhesus macaques [Individual_expression] GSE34127: Dramatic effects of social behavior on gene regulation in rhesus macaques [Cell type_expression] GSE34128: Dramatic effects of social behavior on gene regulation in rhesus macaques [Bisulfite_seq] Refer to individual Series
Project description:Analysis of the effect of anti-IL-15 monoclonal antibody treatment on T cell and NK cell homeostasis in rhesus macaques. The hypothesis tested in the present study was that repeated administrations of a rhesusized anti-IL-15 monoclonal antibody would block IL-15 activity in vivo and result in changes to T and/or NK cell population dynamics that would reflect physiologic IL-15 function. The results provide important information on the specific role IL-15 plays in effector memory T cell and NK cell homeostasis, noting that effector memory T cells but not NK cells can be maintained in the absence of IL-15 signaling by the activity of other cytokines. Sort-purified CD8+ and CD4+ TCM from PBMC, before and after treatment with IgG1 Ab and anti-IL15 Ab

Project description:Interleukin-21 treatment during ART was able to decrease residual immune activation and viral burden in SIV-infected rhesus macaques
Project description:The aim of this study was to investigate differential expression in a house dust mite (HDM) exposure model of asthma in rhesus macaques. HDM sensitization was performed by subcutaneous injection of HDM followed by intranasal HDM for 2-3 hours twice a week. Animals were mock-sensitized (PBS) or sensitized to HDM antigen. Gene expression was measured in lung biopsies before and fifteen weeks after treatment.
Project description:Analysis of gene expression differences in relationship to dominance rank in female rhesus macaques. RNA obtained from isolated peripheral blood mononuclear cells from 49 adult female rhesus macaques of dominance ranks 1 (high) to 5 (low) across 10 social groups. Total 100 samples = (47 individuals X 2 replicates) + (2 individuals X 3 replicates)
Project description:These data are a component of a larger study investigating differences in gene regulation in relationship to rhesus macaque dominance rank. These data compare DNA methylation levels between individuals of different rank on a genome-wide scale using bisulfite sequencing DNA from peripheral blood mononuclear cells sampled from 3 high ranking individuals and 3 low ranking individuals (all adult female rhesus macaques)
Project description:To determine the blood transcriptional response to intravenous (IV) BCG vaccination in rhesus macaques and identify correlates of vaccine-mediated protection against Mycobacterium tuberculosis (Mtb) challenge.
Project description:Gene expression profiling was carried out on peripheral blood mononuclear cell mRNA samples collected from 4 mo old rhesus macaques subject to maternal rearing, peer rearing, or surrogate peer rearing. The primary research question is whether gene expression differs as a function of early rearing conditions.
