Gene Expression and Antimicrobial Activity of Bovine Macrophages in Response to <i>Mycobacterium avium</i> subsp. <i>paratuberculosis</i>
1 Jul 2004
Abstract excerpt
We evaluated gene expression and antimicrobial responses of bovine monocyte-derived macrophages incubated with Mycobacterium avium subsp. paratuberculosis (M. a. ptb), the causative agent of Johne's disease. Gene expression was evaluated by the use of human noncompetitive high-density oligonucleotide microarrays. Bovine messenger RNA hybridized with 14.2-18.2% of the 12,600 oligonucleotide probe sets. When...
