Abstract excerpt
Sheep have a varying ability to resist infection with gastrointestinal nematodes. This ability is due in part to genetic differences that exist between individuals. In order to define these differences we have used real-time PCR to quantify gene expression responses in the gut mucosal surface of genetically resistant and susceptible sheep, following a nematode challenge. Expression profiles were determined in...
