Investigation of the Molecular Response in Blood and Skin of Belugas in Response to Stressors

Abstract

The overall goal of this project is to characterize the beluga immune response at the molecular level utilizing archived and fresh blood and skin samples collected in association with different stressors. In the long term, selected biomarkers found to be informative will be utilized in skin, potentially eliminating the need for blood sampling from wild populations.
