Project name: Mus musculus

Description: IFit2 is highly induced in response to type I and type II interferons, dsRNA, LPS, viral and bacterial infections and it is als found in several chronic diseases.A possible role for the protein in cell proliferation, virion assembly/transport and microtubule dynamices was described. This study focus on IFIT2 proinflammatory cytokine response which might be involved in the development of septic shock. In the IFIT2 knockout mice gene expression levels before and after OVA challenge were analysed.Overall design: Total RNA obtained from 3-4 male mutant mice (challenged/un-challenged) was compared to 4 wild type controls (challenged/unchallenged).

Data type: Transcriptome or Gene expression

Sample scope: Multiisolate
