Acute Toxoplasma Gondii Infection in Cats Induced Tissue-Specific Transcriptional Response Dominated by Immune Signatures
19 Oct 2018
Abstract excerpt
We used RNA-sequencing to detect transcriptional changes in six tissues of cats 7 days after T. gondii infection. 737 genes were differentially expressed (DEGs), of which 410 were up-regulated and 327 were down-regulated. The liver exhibited 151 DEGs, lung (149 DEGs), small intestine (130 DEGs), heart (123 DEGs), brain (104 DEGs), and spleen (80 DEGs) – suggesting tissue-specific transcriptional patterns. Gene...
