3.5 Short-term scientific missionsA core group of 3 persons has been assigned to evaluate the proposed STSMs. In 2007, 2 STSMS have been executed. Additionally an training school has been organised. The training dealt with working in a BSL3-BSL4 environment. In the year 2007 two STSMs were accomplished.
- to improve skills in the proteomic approaches involving 2-D electrophoresis - to learn new methods of visualization, immunodetection and characterization of proteins with the aim to find and detect Coxiella burnetii immunoreactive proteins. After completion of their STSM, both young researches submitted a short scientific report to the COST ACTION B28 STSM Committee. The main results obtained were following: - Efficiency of cell lysis using French press was highly enhanced in comparison with “traditional” preparation of Coxiella burnetii cell extracts based on chemical lysis. -French press method is therefore more effective and more suitable for sample preparation and proteome analysis of Coxiella burnetii than the sample preparation previously established in the home laboratory - Experimental skills were gained with more sensitive protein visualization methods on PVDF membranes from 2-D gels.
-to improve the lipid raft isolation method -to learn new mass spectrometry tools for characterization of lipid rafts. After completion of its STSM the young researcher submitted short scientific report to the COST ACTION B28 STSM Committee. The main results obtained were following: - using CSC technology she was able to identify total plasma membrane proteins and lipid raft-associated proteins of J774.2 with a high specificity. Currently, there is no information regarding the J774.2 cell surface characterization. CSC technology enables to detect the cell surface molecules without antibodies. -after IFNγ stimulation, two different phenotypes (non-stimulated vs. stimulated cells) were compared to each other. In both STSMs, the COST ACTION B28 STSM Committee followed thoroughly all the research work that was planned and performed during these STSMs and could confirm that all the major goals have been achieved, and thus, it could recommend both reports to be accepted by the COST Office. A training school was organised at the University of Göttingen, since it seemed difficult for laboratories to acquired permissions of people working for a short time under these specific conditions, a reason for why STSM were difficult to organise. There was a great interest in this training school, we even had to refuse people attending, since the maximum number of attendances of 10 was reached. Therefore also, an additional training school was planned for 2008. The Training school took 3 days, from may 22 to may 24, 2007. The morning sessions were theoretical sessions, the afternoon sessions were practical sessions of working in a BSL3 laboratory. People learned on what to take care of under BSL3-4 conditions (e.g. disinfection, waste management). In the afternoon sessions, a practical training, using mock samples was performed. A certificate was handed over to all participants. List of participants
