Project description:To characterize the primary and recall responses to EV71 vaccines, PBMCs from 19 recipients before and after vaccination with EV71 vaccine were collected. 14 samples pre-vaccination and 16 samples post-vaccination were detected by microarray and their gene expression signatures after stimulation with EV71 antigen were compared.
Project description:To characterize the primary and recall responses to EV71 vaccines, PBMC from 19 recipients before and after vaccination with EV71 vaccine are collected and their gene expression signatures after stimulation with EV71 antigen were compared. Four-condition experiment,pre-vaccination PBMCs (stimulation vs. no stimulation with EV71 antigen) vs. post-vaccination PBMCs (stimulation vs. no stimulation with EV71 antigen)
Project description:Gene expression profiling of immortalized human mesenchymal stem cells with hTERT/E6/E7 transfected MSCs. hTERT may change gene expression in MSCs. Goal was to determine the gene expressions of immortalized MSCs.
Project description:Breastfeeding protects against mucosal infections in infants. The underlying mechanisms through which immunity develops in human milk following maternal infection with mucosal pathogens are not well understood. We simulate mucosal influenza infection through live attenuated influenza vaccination (LAIV) and compared milk and blood immune responses to inactivated influenza vaccination (IIV). Transcriptomic analysis was performed on RNA extracted from human milk and whole blood. Differentially expressed genes (DEGs) and gene set enrichment analysis (GSEA) on days 1 and 7 post-vaccination were compared to pre-vaccination.
Project description:Transcriptional profiling of human mesenchymal stem cells comparing normoxic MSCs cells with hypoxic MSCs cells. Hypoxia may inhibit senescence of MSCs during expansion. Goal was to determine the effects of hypoxia on global MSCs gene expression.
