Immunomics of the koala (Phascolarctos cinereus).

Abstract excerpt

The study of the koala transcriptome has the potential to advance our understanding of its immunome--immunological reaction of a given host to foreign antigens--and to help combat infectious diseases (e.g., chlamydiosis) that impede ongoing conservation efforts. We used Illumina sequencing of cDNA to characterize genes expressed in two different koala tissues of immunological importance, blood and spleen. We...
