Genetic architecture of gene expression underlying variation in host response to porcine reproductive and respiratory syndrome virus infection
Download2017-04-10
Kommadath, Arun, Bao, Hua, Choi, Igseo, Reecy, James M., Koltes, James E., Fritz-Waters, Elyn, Eisley, Chris J., Grant, Jason R., Rowland, Robert R. R., Tuggle, Christopher K., Dekkers, Jack C. M., Lunney, Joan K., Guan, Le Luo, Stothard, Paul, Plastow, Graham S.
It has been shown that inter-individual variation in host response to porcine reproductive and respiratory syndrome (PRRS) has a heritable component, yet little is known about the underlying genetic architecture of gene expression in response to PRRS virus (PRRSV) infection. Here, we integrated...

Genome wide association studies (GWAS) identify QTL on SSC2 and SSC17 affecting loin peak shear force in crossbred commercial pigs
Download2016-02-22
Miar, Younes, Wang, Zhiquan, Kemp, Robert A., Boddicker, Nicholas, Yang, Tianfu, Plastow, Graham, Zhang, Chunyan, Charagu, Patrick, Bruce, Heather
Of all the meat quality traits, tenderness is considered the most important with regard to eating quality and market value. In this study we have utilised genome wide association studies (GWAS) for peak shear force (PSF) of loin muscle as a measure of tenderness for 1,976 crossbred commercial...

Genome-wide analysis of the transcriptional response to porcine reproductive and respiratory syndrome virus infection at the maternal/fetal interface and in the fetus
Download2016
Ladinig, Andrea, Stothard, Paul, Bao, Hua, Hong, Linjun, Lunney, Joan K., Harding, John C. S., Wilkinson, Jamie M., Plastow, Graham S.
Background Porcine Reproductive and Respiratory Syndrome Virus (PRRSV) infection of pregnant pigs can result in congenital infection and ultimately fetal death. Little is known about immune responses to infection at the maternal-fetal interface and in the fetus itself, or the molecular events...

Genomic Prediction of Piglet Responses to Infection with One or Two Porcine Reproductive and Respiratory Syndrome Virus Isolates
Download2018-01-01
Waide, Emily H., Tuggle, Christopher K., Serao, Nick V. I., Schroyen, Martine, Hess, Andrew, Rowland, Raymond R. R., Lunney, Joan K., Plastow, Graham, Dekkers, Jack C. M.
Genomic prediction of the pig’s response to the porcine reproductive and respiratory syndrome (PRRS) virus (PRRSV) would be a useful tool in the swine industry. This study investigated the accuracy of genomic prediction based on porcine SNP60 Beadchip data using training and validation datasets...

Kinome profiling of peripheral blood mononuclear cells collected prior to vaccination reveals biomarkers and potential mechanisms of vaccine unresponsiveness in pigs
Download2020-12-01
Lipsit, Sean W. L., Wilkinson, James, Scruten, Erin, Facciuolo, Antonio, Denomy, Connor, Griebel, Philip J., Kusalik, Anthony, Plastow, Graham, Napper, Scott
Inter-individual variance in host immune responses following vaccination can result in failure to develop protective immunity leaving individuals at risk for infection in addition to compromising herd immunity. While developing more efficacious vaccines is one strategy to mitigate this problem,...

Maternal and fetal predictors of fetal viral load and death in third trimester, type 2 porcine reproductive and respiratory syndrome virus infected pregnant gilts
Download2015-09-25
Wilkinson, Jamie M., Lunney, Joan K., Detmer, Susan E., Ladinig, Andrea, Harding, John C.S., Ashley, Carolyn, Plastow, Graham
Minimal research has focused on understanding mechanisms underlying porcine reproductive and respiratory syndrome virus (PRRSV) induced reproductive failure. We have completed a large-scale project investigating phenotypic and genotypic predictors of reproductive PRRS severity in which numerous...

Neonatal Exposure to Amoxicillin Alters Long-Term Immune Response Despite Transient Effects on Gut-Microbiota in Piglets
Download2019-01-01
Fouhse, Janelle M., Yang, Kaiyuan, More-Bayona, Juan, Gao, Yanhua, Goruk, Susan, Plastow, Graham, Field, Catherine J., Barreda, Daniel R., Willing, Benjamin P.
Antibiotic exposure during neonatal development may result in transient or persistent alterations of key microbes that are vital for normal development of local and systemic immunity, potentially impairing immune competence later in life. To further elucidate the relationship between antibiotic...

Pathologic Evaluation of Type 2 PorcineReproductive and Respiratory SyndromeVirus Infection at the Maternal-FetalInterface of Late Gestation Pregnant Gilts
Download2016-03-10
Novakovic, Predrag, Harding, John C. S., Al-Dissi, Ahmad, Ladinig, Andrea, Detmer, Susan E.
The pathogenesis of fetal death caused by porcine reproductive and respiratory syndromevirus (PRRSV) remains unclear. The objective of this study was to improve our understand-ing of the pathogenesis by assessing potential relationships between specific histopatho-logical lesions and PRRSV RNA...

Background:Gene expression profiling in blood is a potential source of biomarkers to evaluate or predict phenotypic differences between pigs but is expensive and inefficient because of the high abundance of globin mRNA in porcine blood. These limitations can be overcome by the use of QuantSeq...
