Project description:Monocyte derived dendritic cells (MDDC) were infected with Leishmania major or Leishmania donovani parasites and collected at 4, 8, and 24 hours post-infection to analyze the differential effects those parasite species have on human host cell gene expression over time. Monocyte derived dendritic cells (MDDC) were generated from blood buffy coats collected from five anonymous healthy human donors and infected 10:1 (parasite to host cell) with Leishmania major Friedlin V1 strain or Leishmania donovani 1S strain parasites, where after 4, 8, or 24 hours total RNA was harvested from cells, cDNA generated, and hybridized to human gene transcipt expression arrays to assess differential host cell gene transcriptional expression differences relative to uninfected cells.
Project description:The mRNA expression of antimony resistant strains of Leishmania donovani was compared to the expression of the sensitive Leishmania donovani.
Project description:In this study, we examined the transcriptome of Leishmania donovani promastigotes and axenic amastigotes to identify differentially regulated mRNAs utilizing the serial analysis of gene expression Keywords: stage differentiation; axenic amastigotes
Project description:Monastrol treatment of Leishmania donovani infected macrophages Macrophages were infected with Leishmania donovani and treated with monastrol to look for signalling molecules
Project description:Monocyte derived dendritic cells (MDDC) were infected with Leishmania major or Leishmania donovani parasites and collected at 4, 8, and 24 hours post-infection to analyze the differential effects those parasite species have on human host cell gene expression over time.
Project description:Differential gene expression analysis was carried out in clinical isolates of Leishmania donovani (L. donovani) parasite derived from VL patient before miltefosine treatment, post treatment and patient that relpased after miltefosine treatment
