Whole blood transcriptome profiles of trypanotolerant and trypanosusceptible cattle highlight a differential modulation of metabolism and immune response during infection by Trypan... by Peylhard, Moana, Berthier, David, Dayo, Guiguigbaza-Kossigan, Chantal, Isabelle, Sylla, Souleymane, Nidelet, Sabine, Dubois, Emeric, Martin, Guillaume, Sempéré, Guilhem, Flori, Laurence, Thévenon, Sophie

“…As expected, infection had a major impact on cattle blood transcriptome regardless of the breed. The functional analysis of differentially expressed genes over time in each breed confirmed an early activation of the innate immune response, followed by an activation of the humoral response and an inhibition of T cell functions at the chronic stage of infection. …”
