Title Identification and Characterization of Differentially Expressed Genes During Listeria Monocytogenes Infection of Resistant and Susceptible Mice

Advisor
Adams, David S., BB

Availability unrestricted

Abstract
The goal of this MQP was to identify and characterize differentially expressed genes associated with Listeria monocytogenes infection in two strains of mice, BALB/cbyj (Listeria sensitive) and C57BL/6ByJ (Listeria resistant). We identified several genes both upregulated and deregulated by the host during infection, and mapped one gene's chromosomal location (though inconclusively) to gain a more complete understanding of the biochemical processes involved in the innate immune response.
