infected host: Hyalomma (tick) differentiation time-point: NA parasite strain: Ankara
Treatment protocol
Stimulation of cells was carried out for up to 48 hours in six well plates with 5,000,000 cells/well in a total of 5 ml medium, set up immediately prior to addition of 1 μg/ml LPS (Sigma: L2630).
Growth protocol
BL20, an uninfected bovine lymphosarcoma cell line (Olobo and Black, 1989. Vet. Immunol. Immunopathol. 20, 165-172) and TBL20, a T. annulata (Ankara strain) infected BL20 cell line (Shiels et al., 1986. Vet. Parasitol. 21, 1-10.) were cultured in standard complete medium (Swan et al., 1999. Mol. Biochem. Parasitol. 101, 117-129) except that heat-inactivated foetal bovine serum (FBS; Sigma) was used. Cultures were seeded with 200,000 cells/ml and maintained by feeding with fresh medium every two to three days (Schmuckli-Maurer et al., 2010. Cell Microbiol. 12, 158-173).
Extracted molecule
total RNA
Extraction protocol
Total RNA was extracted using Triazol (ref) and this was cleaned up using an RNeasy Mini kit (Qiagen Inc., CA, USA) . RNA quality and concentration was determined by analysis with an Agilent 2100 bioanalyzer (ref)
Label
Cy3

Description
This sample is of T. annulata sporozoites prepared from ground-up tick stabilate (GUTS) (2 of 4)
Data processing
The raw data (.pair file) was subjected to RMA (Robust Multi-Array Analysis; Irizarry et al. Biostatistics 4(2):249), quantile normalization (Bolstad et al. Bioinformatics 19(2):185), and background correction as implemented in the NimbleScan software package, version 2.4.27 (Roche NimbleGen, Inc.).
