Creator:: Drennan, John D.
Abstract:: Recent advances in DNA vaccine technology has brought about a promising strategy for the control of viruses that contain surface membrane glycoproteins. This type of vaccine involves the intramuscular injection of a bacterial plasmid containing a gene encoding a viral protein. The strategy uses eukaryotic processing of the protein as...
Resource Type:: Masters Thesis

Creator:: Chiou, Pinwen Peter
Abstract:: The role of viral proteins in the pathogenesis of infectious hematopoietic necrosis virus (IHNV) was studied at the molecular level. The expression of the viral genes at the protein and RNA level, and their cellular localization, were characterized to further our understanding of viral pathogenesis. The pathogenic effect of individual...

Creator:: Trobridge, Grant David
Abstract:: The Mx protein family of rainbow trout (Oncorhynchus mykiss) was characterized at the molecular level. With primers derived from a partial sequence of Perch (Perca fluviatis) Mx genomic DNA, a partial rainbow trout Mx genomic DNA sequence was obtained by polymerase chain reaction (PCR) amplification. All salmonid fish investigated contained...

Creator:: Bruslind, Linda D.
Abstract:: Three closely related isolates belonging to the A₁ serotype of infectious pancreatic necrosis virus (IPNV) were selected for comparison, to provide insight into the nature of variation in the virulence of IPN viruses. Brook trout fry (Salvelinus fontinalis) were experimentally infected with the three isolates by immersion. Cumulative mortalities over...

Creator:: House, Marcia
Abstract:: Disseminated neoplasia (DN) is a proliferative cell disorder that occurs in the circulatory system of bivalves. The condition is progressive and lethal. At least 15 species of bivalves over a wide range of geographic locations have been reported to contract DN. Prevalence levels of disseminated neoplasia can reach up to...

Creator:: Mourich, Dan V.
Abstract:: The immune systems of various teleost fish have been studied in some detail for the past several decades. One aspect of fish immunity, that of endogenously produced modulating factors, has recently received a great deal of attention. Understanding the functions and roles of endogenous factors that regulate fish immunity is...
