SAMPLES_WITH_DNA
Description:
Blood samples will be taken, and will be used for the following purposes:
* DNA isolation and analysis: DNA genome will be isolated from white blood cells. This DNA genome will be contained in a biobank - Exercise Genetics. Well-known genetic variations in genes will be tested showing relevance to training adaptations (ACE, ACTN3 etc.). Only known polymorphisms will be investigated.
* Exosome isolation from plasma: We will isolate exosomes from plasma by the ultracentrifugation method. We will investigate the volume and specific types of exosomes, in relation to the training intervention. We also want to examine the exosome-cargo, like miRNA, protein content, mRNA and DNA content.
* Isolation of antibodies from plasma: We want to investigate antibodies to examine potential on-going disease, recently disease or earlier disease of Barbesia, Anaplasma or other actual tick-borne agens. We also want to isolate DNA from blood and use real-time PCR for anaplasma and Neo Ehrlichia analysis.
