The toxin ricin has been shown to cause inflammatory lung damage, leading to pulmonary oedema and, at higher doses, mortality. In order to understand the genetic basis of this inflammatory cascade a custom microarray platform (1509 genes) directed towards immune and inflammatory markers was used to ...

Phagocytosis requires the activation of a plethora of mechanisms that include the activation of the actin cytoskeleton guided by the Arp2/3 complex. These are promoted by activators such as the Wiskott Aldrich Syndrome Protein (WASP) family members. In order to further understand the molecular mecha...

Phosgene is a lung damaging chemical warfare agent which can cause death by the inhalation route. In this study the inflammatory response to phosgene was mapped over a 96h time-course using a custom microarray in the Balb/c mouse. Three groups of six mice were exposed to phosgene and a three groups ...

Francisella tularensis may enter the body thorugh the lungs and cause fatal infection. In this study the inflammatory response to the virulent strain of Francisella (Schu4) was mapped over a 96h time-course using a custom microarray. Six groups of 4 mice were exposed to aerosolised Francisella tular...

Mouse macrophages J774A.1 were pre-treated with the anti-inflammatory lipid eicosapenaenoic acid (EPA) or the pro-inflammatory lipid ceramide (Cer) for 3h. Macrophages were then infected with Mycobacterium smegmatis for 1h, and total RNA was collected. In a parallel experiment, infected macrophages ...
