High-resolution transcriptomics of bovine purified protein derivative-stimulated peripheral blood from cattle infected withMycobacterium bovisacross an experimental time course
Abstract:ObjectivesImproved bovine tuberculosis (bTB) diagnostics with higher sensitivity and specificity are urgently required. A better understanding of the peripheral blood transcriptional response of Mycobacterium bovis-infected animals after bovine purified protein derivative (PPD-b) stimulation of whole blood—an important component of current bTB diagnostics—will provide new information for development of better diagnostics.MethodsRNA sequencing (RNA-seq) was used to study the peripheral blood transcriptome after… Show more
