Abstract excerpt
We have used piglets as an animal model for studying the toxic effects of staphylococcal enterotoxins (SEs). Piglets are easy to handle, easy to carry out vital measurements, inexpensive, and more importantly, express remarkably similar pathological symptoms and responses to SE intoxication as humans at comparable doses. Microarray analyses are used to study the effect of many infections on gene expression...
