View SamplesThe hemibiotrophic fungal pathogen Colletotrichum graminicola is the causal agent of anthracnose disease on maize stalks and leaves. After the formation of appressoria the host cell wall is penetrated by the conversion of appressorial turgor pressure into forceful ejection of a penetration peg. Subsequently, C. graminicola establishes biotrophic hyphae in the penetrated epidermis cell at around 36 hours post inoculation (hpi) until a switch of hyphal morphology and lifestyle takes place during the colonization of neighboring host cells at around 72 hpi. During the ensuing necrotrophic growth, dark necrotic lesions are formed that are visible as anthracnose symptoms. We used microarrays to detail the global programme of gene expression during the infection process of Colletotrichum graminicola in its host plant to get insight into the defense response of this compatible interaction and into the metabolic reprogramming needed to supply the fungus with nutrients.

View SamplesMycobacteria can survive and persist in macrophages despite triggering multiple pattern recognition receptors and strong T cell-derived IFN-gamma production. The mycobacterial cord factor trehalose-6,6-dimycolate binds the C-type lectin receptor Mincle and induces inflammatory gene expression through the Syk-Card9 pathway. It is well established that TDM and IFN-gamma synergize to induce expression of iNOS. However, the cord factor may also act to down-regulate IFN-gamma-induced responses and contribute to mycobacterial immune evasion.

View SamplesKaposis sarcoma-associated hepesvirus (KSHV) encodes four genes with homology to human interferon regulatory factors (IRFs). One of these IRFs, the viral interferon regulatory factor 3 (vIRF-3) is expressed in latently infected PEL cells and required for their continuous proliferation. Moreover, vIRF-3 is known to be involved in modulation of the type I interferon response.
Kaposi's sarcoma-associated herpesvirus viral interferon regulatory factor 3 inhibits gamma interferon and major histocompatibility complex class II expression.

View SamplesBy investigating the germinal center (GC) formation in STAT6ko/WT bone marrow-mixed chimera we found that GC formation in type 2 immune responses is dependent on B cell intrinsic expression of IL-4/IL-13-induced genes. We therefore used microarrays to find Stat6 dependent genes that are important for germinal center formation and/or organization after infection with the nematode Nippostrongylus brasiliensis (N. brasiliensis).
B-cell-intrinsic STAT6 signaling controls germinal center formation.
