This project is concerned with detailed studies of the immune system of the pig. The study takes a whole genome approach, and builds upon similar studies of the mouse and human by international consortia in which the Principal Investigator has participated. The focus is on the molecular biology of macrophages, large white blood cells that are the first line of defence against bacterial and some viral diseases. We aim to identify all of the genes that contribute to the host defence function in these cells in the pig, and how their expression is coordinated. Within that set of genes, we aim to identify those that vary in their function between pigs and other species, and between different major breeds of pigs. The outcome of the study will be to provide a rational basis for breeding pigs for improved disease resistance, identification of disease susceptibility genes that could also contribute to human health, and also a basic understanding of the evolution of immunity in mammals.

该项目涉及猪免疫系统的详细研究。该研究采用全基因组方法，并以首席研究员参与的国际联盟对小鼠和人类的类似研究为基础。重点是巨噬细胞的分子生物学，大白细胞是抵抗细菌和某些病毒性疾病的第一道防线。我们的目标是鉴定猪这些细胞中有助于宿主防御功能的所有基因，以及它们的表达是如何协调的。在这组基因中，我们的目标是识别那些在猪和其他物种之间以及不同主要猪品种之间功能不同的基因。该研究的结果将为提高猪的抗病能力、鉴定有助于人类健康的疾病易感基因以及对哺乳动物免疫进化的基本了解提供合理依据。
