Gene expression in the liver of rainbow trout, Oncorhynchus mykiss, during the stress response

Creator:: Momoda, Tracey S.
Abstract:: The extent to which responses to stress are maladaptive or adaptive to the long-term survival of fish remains to be better understood. The aim of this study was to identify differentially expressed genes in the livers of rainbow trout, Oncorhynchus mykiss, responding to an experimental stressor. Gene expression responses were...

Identification of candidate genes for survival and their use in predicting field performance of Pacific oyster Crassostrea gigas families in coastal waters

Creator:: Lang, Robert Paul
Abstract:: Summer mortality of farmed Pacific oysters causes financial losses for shellfish growers, and selective breeding to improve survival of offspring is a promising way to reduce losses. This dissertation has two objectives to assist the development of tools for use in selective breeding programs. Objective 1: Identify candidate genes for...

The detection of superoxide and implications for amyotrophic lateral sclerosis

Creator:: Robinson, Kristine M.
Abstract:: Mutations to superoxide dismutase were the first proven cause of Lou Gehrig’s disease (amyotrophic lateral sclerosis; ALS) implicating superoxide in the selective death of motor neurons that characterizes ALS. Nitric oxide competes effectively with superoxide dismutase for superoxide to form the powerful oxidant peroxynitrite. Endogenous formation of peroxynitrite can kill...

The effects of elevated temperature and stress on immune function in juvenile chinook salmon (Oncorhynchus tshawytscha)

Creator:: Harrahy, Laura Nicole Martini
Abstract:: Stress, including extreme or rapidly changing temperatures, are known to have deleterious effects on fish health and physiology. This thesis examines the combined effects of elevated acclimation temperature and acute handling stress on the number of antibody producing cells, plasma lysozyme concentrations, and the number of pronephric leukocytes in juvenile...

Mechanisms for the interaction of environmental mycobacteria with host cells

Creator:: Harriff, Melanie J.
Abstract:: Environmental mycobacteria are important opportunistic pathogens for many hosts, including humans, cattle, and fish. Two well-studied species are Mycobacterium avium subsp. avium, a significant cause of disseminated bacterial disease in patients with AIDS, and Mycobacterium avium subsp. paratuberculosis, the cause of Johne’s disease in cattle. Many other species that are...

Involvement of inflammation and associated Mac-1⁺Gr-1⁺ cells in the immune suppression induced by 2,3,7,8-tetrachlorodibenzo-p-dioxin (TCDD)

Creator:: Choi, Jin-Young, 1964
Abstract:: Exposure to TCDD suppresses the generation of immune responses through unknown mechanisms. Interestingly, TCDD enhances inflammatory responses to various stimuli. The goal of the studies presented in this thesis was to examine the role of hyperinflammation in TCDD-induced immunotoxicity. Previously we observed an increase in Mac-1⁺ cells in the spleen...

Characterization of an inhibitor ("6S") of infectious pancreatic necrosis virus (IPNV) in normal rainbow trout serum (RTS) and its effects on the virus

Creator:: Park, Kyoung Chul
Abstract:: The characteristics of an inhibitor of infectious pancreatic necrosis virus (IPNV) found in normal rainbow trout serum (RTS) were studied. The serum inhibitor had a molecular weight of approximately 150 kDa and was dependent on divalent cations, either Ca²⁺ or Mg²⁺. It was stable at temperatures up to 50°C and...

Chronic exposure of rodents to indole-3-carbinol and 3,3'-diindolylmethane : implications for drug metabolism, chemoprevention and human health

Creator:: Leibelt, Dustin A.
Abstract:: Indole-3-carbinol (I3C) is a naturally occurring plant alkaloid, found in significant concentrations in cruciferous vegetables such as broccoli and Brussels sprouts. I3C is an unstable compound that undergoes rapid oligomerization in an acidic environment to form higher order condensation products (I3C-ACPs), such as 3-3'-diindolylmethane (DIM). Both I3C and DIM are...

The influence of aryl hydrocarbon receptor activation on T cell fate

Creator:: Funatake, Castle J.
Abstract:: 2,3,7,8-Tetrachlorodibenzo-p-dioxin (TCDD) and related compounds are well-recognized for their immunosuppressive activity, which is mediated through an intracellular receptor and transcription factor, aryl hydrocarbon receptor (AhR). Laboratory animals exposed to TCDD are less resistant to infection and have severely impaired humoral and cell-mediated immune responses. This dissertation addressed the hypothesis that...

Quantitative trait locus analysis of agronomic and malting quality traits in the Harrington x Morex barley (Hordeum vulgare L.) mapping population

Creator:: Marquez-Cedillo, Luis A.
Abstract:: Characterization of the determinants of economically important phenotypes showing complex inheritance should lead to more effective use of genetic resources. This study was conducted to determine the number, genome location and effects of QTLs determining malting quality and agronomic traits in the two North American barley quality standards. Using a...
