Expression profiling by high throughput sequencing
Summary
The cellular transcriptome of C57BL/6 mouse lungs was profiled by mRNA-Seq analysis at multiple time points in response to infection with influenza A/California/04/09 (H1N1), A/Wyoming/03/03 (H3N2), and A/Vietnam/1203/04 (H5N1) HALo virus. The Influenza A/Vietnam/1203/04 (H5N1) HALo mutant virus is an attenuated H5N1 virus generated from wild-type Influenza A/Vietnam/1203/04 (H5N1) virus as described in Steel, J., et al. J Virol. 2009 Feb; 83(4):1742-53. A/Wyoming/03/03 (H3N2) influenza virus replicates poorly in mice and lung tissue collected from mice inoculated with this virus did not carry viral loads detectable by plaque assay.
Overall design
Six to eight week-old female C57BL/6 mice were infected with influenza A/California/04/09 (H1N1), A/Wyoming/03/03 (H3N2), or A/Vietnam/1203/04 (H5N1) HALo virus. Lungs from 3 infected mice per experimental group were collected at 12h, 1d, 2d, 3d and 4d post infection. Lungs of mice treated with PBS, collected after 4 d, served as mock control.
