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 ... -
Evidence of the adaptive evolution of immune genes in chicken
(2009)The basis for understanding the characteristics of gene functional categories in chicken has been enhanced by the ongoing sequencing of the zebra finch genome, the second bird species to be extensively sequenced. This ... -
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 ... -
Innate immune gene expression differentiates the early avian intestinal response between Salmonella and Campylobacter
(2009)Salmonella enterica serovar Typhimurium and Campylobacter jejuni are major human pathogens, yet colonise chickens without causing pathology. The aim of this study was to compare intestinal innate immune responses to both ...
