Characterisation and expression profile of the bovine cathelicidin gene repertoire in mammary tissue
(2014)Background Cathelicidins comprise a major group of host-defence peptides. Conserved across a wide range of species, they have several functions related to host defence. Only one cathelicidin has been found in humans but ... -
EXPERIMENTAL STAPHYLOCOCCUS AUREUS INFECTION OF THE MAMMARY GLAND INDUCES REGION-SPECIFIC CHANGES IN INNATE IMMUNE GENE EXPRESSION
(Elsevier, 2011)Staphylococcus aureus is a prolific mastitis-causing bacterium that resides naturally in the environment of the dairy cow. The aim of this study was to profile immune gene expression in tissue from the alveolar, ductal, ... -
Global gene expression analysis of chicken caecal response to Campylobacter jejuni
(Elsevier, 2011)Campylobacter jejuni colonises the caecum of more than 90% of commercial chickens. Even though colonisation is asymptomatic, we hypothesised that it is mediated by activation of several biological pathways. We therefore ...
