Global DNA methylation changes and differential gene expression in Anaplasma phagocytophilum-infected human neutrophils
28 Jul 2015
Abstract excerpt
BACKGROUND: Anaplasma phagocytophilum is an obligate intracellular prokaryotic pathogen that both infects and replicates within human neutrophils. The bacterium represses multiple antimicrobial functions while simultaneously increasing proinflammatory functions by reprogramming the neutrophil genome. Previous reports show that many observed phenotypic changes are in part explained by altered gene transcription....
