项目摘要

All pathogens that cause chronic infections must avoid clearance by the host immune response. Many have complex mechanisms to rapidly generate diversity in critical antigens. Mycobacterium tuberculosis chronically infects one third of the worlds' population and similarly must avoid clearance by the host immune system. However, there is currently little understanding of whether M. tuberculosis, like so many other pathogens, diversifies in vivo to escape host immune selection. In this proposal, we will test the hypothesis that M. tuberculosis varies, either genetically or epigenetically, during the course of infection and that this variation contributes to the ability of the bacteria to avoid clearance by the host immune response. We will use new genomics technologies—low cost genome sequencing and expression profiling—to systematically assess genetic and epigenetic variation in bacteria selected in a simple experimental model of disease chosen to create different immune pressures on the bacteria —mice of different MHC haplotypes. In these studies, we expect to provide fundamental insights into the mechanisms and targets of diversifying immune selection in M. tuberculosis.

所有引起慢性感染的病原体必须避免被宿主免疫清除。回应。许多病毒具有复杂的机制，可以迅速产生关键抗原的多样性。结核分枝杆菌慢性感染了世界三分之一的人口，同样，必须避免被宿主免疫系统清除。然而，目前几乎没有了解结核分枝杆菌是否像许多其他病原体一样，在体内多样化到逃避宿主免疫选择。在这个提议中，我们将检验M。在感染过程中，结核病在遗传上或表观遗传上是不同的，而且这种变异有助于细菌避免被宿主免疫清除。回应。我们将使用新的基因组学技术-低成本基因组测序和表达谱--系统地评估细菌的遗传和表观遗传变异选择了一种简单的疾病实验模型来创造不同的免疫力对不同MHC单倍型细菌-小鼠的压力。在这些研究中，我们预计提供对免疫多样化的机制和目标的基本见解结核分枝杆菌的选择。
