INTRANASAL IMMUNIZATION WITH A BUCL8-BASED VACCINE AMELIORATES BACTERIAL BURDEN AND PATHOLOGICAL INFLAMMATION, AND PROMOTES AN IGG2A/B DOMINANT RESPONSE IN AN OUTBRED MOUSE MODEL OF BURKHOLDERIA INFECTION

Intranasal immunization with a Bucl8-based vaccine ameliorates bacterial burden and pathological inflammation, and promotes an IgG2a/b dominant response in an outbred mouse model of Burkholderia infection

Burkholderia pseudomallei is a gram-negative bacterium that is the etiological agent of the tropical disease melioidosis.Currently, there is no licensed vaccine for melioidosis, but numerous candidates are being tested for protective efficacy and characterization of the elicited immune response.Our lab has previously reported the immunogenicity of

MicroRNA profiling of the feline left heart identifies chamber-specific expression signatures in health and in advanced hypertrophic cardiomyopathy

Hypertrophic cardiomyopathy (HCM) is a common heart disease in humans and cats, nonetheless, the disease pathogenesis is still poorly understood.MicroRNAs are suspected to be involved in the disease process but the myocardial microRNA expression pattern in Rolling Machines cats has not been identified.We hypothesized that microRNA profiles differ b
