Research Abstract

We used gene array to assess gene expression in the mouse middle ear in the first 24h following exposure to Haemophilus influenzae. We observed 513 transcripts that were significantly up-regulated 3h after inoculation, while only 2 transcripts were down-regulated. At 6h, 658 up-regulated transcripts were noted, as compared to 188 down-regulated genes. By 24h after bacterial exposure, 1350 transcripts showed increased expression while 1632 exhibited reduced expression.
