Macaque species share over 93% genome homology with humans and develop many disease phenotypes similar to those of humans, making them valuable animal models for the study of human diseases (e.g.,HIV and neurodegenerative diseases). However, the quality of genome assembly and annotation for several ...
In order to identify IFNα-induced host factor(s) that might inhibit replication of unadapted chimeric SIV/HIV-1 viruses (SHIVs), we measured IFNα-induced gene expression in immortalized pig-tailed macaque (Ptm) CD4+ lymphocytes. Triplicate cultures of Ptm lymphocytes were left untreated or treated w...
Intrauterine exposure to amniotic fluid (AF) cytokines is thought to predispose to bronchopulmonary dysplasia (BPD). We evaluated the effects of GBS exposure on RNA expression in fetal lung tissue to determine early molecular pathways associated with fetal lung injury that may progress to BPD. Ten ...
