cord-317333-unrd76bo	Danesh, Ali	Early gene expression events in ferrets in response to SARS coronavirus infection versus direct interferon-alpha2b stimulation	2011-01-05		.txt	text/plain	5467	278	48	Evaluation of gene expression patterns in PBMCs and lung necropsies of SARS-CoV-infected ferrets led us to the identification of 7 upregulated IRGs that also were upregulated in response to IFN-α2b injection. Since STAT1 was phosphorylated following SARS-CoV infection and IFN-α2b injection, we investigated select IRG expression by qRT-PCR following in vitro stimulation of ferret peripheral whole blood with IFN-α2b. These gene expression and STAT1 phosphorylation findings suggested that robust IFN responses were activated following SARS-CoV infection 2 days post-infection. The comparison of microarray results between the lung tissue of IFN-α2b and SARS-CoV ferrets at day 1 revealed commonalities in the expression patterns of most IRGs. STAT1, MX1, OAS1, OAS2, ISG15, IFI44, IFI44L and EIF2AK2 were among the overlapping genes (Fig. 3B ). Analysis of the IFN signaling canonical pathway showed the upregulation of STAT1, MX1, OAS1, OAS2, ISG15 and IFI44 in lung necropsies of IFN-α2b injected and SARS-CoV infected ferrets (Fig. 4) .	./cache/cord-317333-unrd76bo.txt	./txt/cord-317333-unrd76bo.txt
