Investigation of gene-expression profile of high immune-competent pigs. Investigation of gene-expression profile of high immune-competent pigs

Transcriptional profiling of macrophages derived from immune-selected (phagocytosis, complement activity in the alternative pathway, and antibody response after vaccination with swine erysipelas) in comparison with those from normal pigs Overall design: Changes of gene expression of macrophages stimulated with lipid A were detected in comparison with unstimulated macrophages, and profiles of the changes were compared between macrophages derived from immune-selected and normal pigs.
