Alterations in global transcriptional profiles of S. pneumoniae 6304 serotype 4 after 50 passages (50P) and 100 passages (100P) on laboratory media Keywords: Adaptation to unique growth environment Three conditions experiment: Control, single passage strain (1P), 2 biological replicates Experimenta...
This study assessed proteomic profile of Candida albicans after serial systemic infection in a murine model. The animals were infected initially by wild-type C. albicans SC5314 (WT) with an inoculum of of 3.5x105 cells via lateral tail vein. Then, five days post-infection, the animals were euthanize...
Human mesenchymal stem cells (hMSC) play an important role in the maintenance of bone and blood. Most protocols rely on their in vitro expansion prior to clinical use. However, several groups including our own have shown that hMSC lose proliferation and differentiation ability with serial passage in...
The protozoan Ichthyophthirius multifiliis (Ich) is a eukaryotic ciliate parasite of freshwater fish. Ich causes ichthyophthiriosis or ‘white spot disease’ characterized by white cysts covering the host skin and gills. The parasite is responsible for high mortalities and severe economic losses to f...
