Investigations of regulatory T cell induction by 2, 3, 7, 8-Tetrachlorodibenzo-p-dioxin during a graft-versus-host response

Creator:: Marshall, Nikki B.
Abstract:: The immune toxicity of 2,3,7,8-Tetrachlorodibenzo-p-dioxin (TCDD) has been studied for over 35 years, but only recently has the profound immune suppression associated with TCDD exposure been linked to induction of regulatory T cells (Tregs). The effects of TCDD are mediated through binding the aryl hydrocarbon receptor (AhR), a ligand-activated transcription...

Biology of a constitutively-expressed vaccinia virus gene required for DNA replication

Creator:: Roseman, Nancy A.
Abstract:: Replication of vaccinia virus in the cytoplasm of the infected cell occurs under the direction of virally encoded gene products. Expression of approximately 200 viral genes follows a highly regulated temporal scheme which can be followed biochemically and morphologically during the assembly process. In order to dissect this complex genetic...

Advances in expression of heterologous protein products by Streptococcus gordonii

Creator:: Warren, Travis Kent
Abstract:: Streptococcus gordonii is a bacterial species that naturally colonizes the oral cavity of most healthy humans. It resides in the mouth as an adherent to dental surfaces and, with few exceptions, does not cause disease in individuals it inhabits. It possesses qualities that encourage its use as a vector to...

Establishment and dynamics of methane-oxidizing microbial communities in marine sediments

Creator:: Klasek, Scott A.
Abstract:: Marine sediments are vast sources and reservoirs of methane, a potent greenhouse gas. Most of this methane is anaerobically oxidized by archaea before it can reach the overlying ocean, though the efficiency of this process often depends on methane fluxes and mechanisms of fluid transport. Anaerobic methanotrophic archaea, or ANME,...

The Effects of Phytoplankton Prey Species and Nutrient Limitation on Microzooplankton

Creator:: McBeain, Kelsey Ann
Abstract:: Phytoplankton and microzooplankton comprise the base and the first link of the marine food web, respectively. These microbes are key drivers of marine carbon and nutrient cycles. Phytoplankton convert atmospheric CO₂ into organic carbon, and microzooplankton consume phytoplankton, packaging phytoplankton carbon into particulate forms that have a variety of fates:...

Structural and functional dissection of the vaccinia virus thymidine kinase enzyme

Creator:: Black, Margaret E.
Abstract:: Thymidine kinase is a key enzyme in the nucleotide salvage pathway, catalyzing the production of dTMP from thymidine and ATP. In order to identify the structural features of the TK protein and/or primary amino acid sequences which contribute to the catalytic and regulatory activities of this enzyme, an in vitro...

Impacts of Environmental Change on a Newly-characterized Symbiosis between a Novel Bacterial Parasite, Genus Aquarickettsia, and the Coral Acropora cervicornis

Creator:: Klinges, J. Grace
Abstract:: Coral reef ecosystems continue to be significantly altered by disease epizootics, but why some host populations remain resistant while others succumb to outbreaks remains unknown. Research across diverse animal and plant host systems has revealed that disease severity is strongly influenced by host genetics and by environmental influences on both...

Characterization of an immunoreactive region of the major capsid protein for infectious pancreatic necrosis virus

Creator:: Barrie, Rosemary Jean
Abstract:: DNA fragments of the gene for VP2, the major capsid protein of Infectious Pancreatic Necrosis Virus (IPNV), were expressed in Escherichia coli and characterized immunologically with antisera made to different serotypes of IPNV. The entire VP2 gene was excised from the plasmid pUC19/A+SΔK and fragmented with restriction enzyme Sau3A1. The...

The Influence of Microbial Communities on Spatiotemporal Elemental Cycling in Coastal Margins Revealed by Community- and Population-level Genomics and Proteomics

Creator:: Kieft, Brandon P.
Abstract:: Biotic and abiotic processes at continent-ocean interfaces cycle a disproportionate mass of carbon and nutrients relative to their global surface area, and microbial activity is a principal determinant of organic and inorganic matter flux in these transition zones. Most studies using modern high-throughput ‘omics techniques to link microorganisms with costal...
