Project description:Ribosome profiling (Ribo-Seq) (maps positions of translating ribosomes on the transcriptome) and RNA-Seq (quantifies the transcriptome) analysis of chicken (Gallus gallus) cells infected with Infectious Bronchitis Virus (IBV) strains Beaudette and M41.
Project description:To understand the mechanistic basis of local innate and adaptive immunity against infectious bronchitis virus (IBV) at the molecular level, we examined the gene transcription profile of tracheal epithelial layers at 3 days after infection of chickens with an attenuated IBV-Massachusetts strain.

Project description:Transcriptional profiling of chicken embryo lung cells infected infectious laryngotracheitis virus (ILTV) comparing control uninfected lung cells. Goal was to determine the changes of host gene expression by ILTV infection and host-virus interaction. Two-condition experiment, uninfected chicken embryo lung cells vs. infected chicken embryo lung cells. Biological replicates: 1 control uninfected sample, 1 infected experimental sample at each 1dpi, 3dpi, 5dpi, and 7 dpi.

Project description:Infectious bronchitis virus (IBV), is a coronavirus which infects chickens (Gallus gallus), and is one of the foremost causes of economic loss within the poultry industry, affecting the performance of both meat-type and egg-laying birds. The virus replicates not only in the epithelium of upper and lower respiratory tract tissues, but also in many tissues along the alimentary tract and elsewhere e.g. kidney, oviduct and testes. It can be detected in both respiratory and faecal material. There is increasing evidence that IBV can infect species of bird other than the chicken. Interestingly breeds of chicken vary with respect to the severity of infection with IBV, which may be related to the immune response (Cavanagh, 2006). Here we examine differential expression of genes in the trachea of susceptible and resistant birds, in order to identify genes which may be involved in resistance to IBV.
Project description:Data from the IAH/VLA diagnostic pathogen/virus detection microarray. The array platform for this data is GEO accession GPL5725 (provisional), and consists of 5824 oligos representing over 100 viral families, species and subtypes. The data set itself consists of 12 arrays, 4 hybridised with RNA from cell cultured foot-and-mouth disease virus (FMDV) type O, 3 hybridised with RNA from FMDV type A, 1 hybridised with RNA from a sheep infected with FMDV type O, and 4 hybridised with cell-cultured Avian Infectious Bronchitis virus (IBV).

Project description:Infectious bronchitis is a highly contagious respiratory disease of poultry caused by the coronavius infectious bronchitis virus (IBV). Until recently is was thought that coronavirus virions were composed of the structural proteins nucleocapsid, envelope, spike and membrane proteins, but investigations of TGEV and SARS-CoV have shown the proteome of coronavirus virions also includes viral non-structural and group specific proteins as well as host cell proteins. To study the proteome of IBV virions, virus was grown in embryonated chicken eggs and purified by sucrose gradient ultracentrifugation. Purified virus was analysed using sensitive gel-free proteomic techniques to determine the proteome of IBV. Analysis of three preparations of purified IBV yielded a list of 39 proteins commonly associated with the IBV virion. Three of these proteins were the viral structural proteins spike, membrane and nucleocapsid, but none of the viral non-strucutral or groups specific proteins could be identified. The other 35 proteins commonly associated to the IBV virion were all found to be host cell proteins. These proteins were classified into 12 categories using pantherdb (pantherdb.org). These proteins were involved in a diverse range of functions such as cytoskeletal proteins, nucleic acid binding proteins and chaperone proteins. Some of these proteins were unique to this study, whilst others were found to be orthologous to proteins identified in the SARS-CoV protein, and indeed some were also identified in association with virions from a number of other RNA and DNA viruses.
