Expression data in UPEC cystitis in female CBA mice

Data defines for the first time a whole bladder transcriptome of UPEC cystitis in female CBA mice using genome-wide expression profiling to map early host response pathways stemming from UPEC colonization We used microarrays to detail the global programme of gene expression in UPEC UTI in mice Whole mouse bladder collected at 2h following transurethral infection for RNA extraction and hybridization on Affymetrix microarrays. Non-pooled samples were used, with one array per mouse to expand power of expression profiles. Control mice received only PBS as a mock infection. Group sizes were five mice per group, and therefore five arrays were used per group.
