  • Characterization of putative recognition components of echinoderm coelomic fluid: agglutinins in Strongylocentrotus purpuratus

    Creator:
    Pierce, Laura G.
    Abstract:
    Due to an interest in the evolutionary origins of vertebrate mechanisms of immunorecognition, researchers have frequently turned to deuterostome invertebrates as model organisms. The purple sea urchin, Strongylocentrotus purpuratus (Echinodermata: Echinoidea), was selected for this study of putative immunorecognition molecules in a deuterostome invertebrate. Hemagglutinins, molecules which agglutinate red blood...

  • Immunological perspectives of a host-parasite system : studies on the humoral and cellular components of Biomphalaria glabrata, New World host for Schistosoma mansoni

    Creator:
    Boswell, Carl A.
    Abstract:
    The host snail Biomphalaria glabrata and the parasitic trematode Schistosoma mansoni are valuable subjects for studies evaluating and defining immunological parameters that determine the outcome of individual host-parasite encounters. In this thesis, both soluble and cellular components of the snail's hemolymph were examined to gain insight into the basis for...

  • Neural regulation of immunity in teleosts

    Creator:
    Flory, Craig M.
    Abstract:
    It has long been observed that stress can increase our susceptibility to infectious diseases and cancers. Recent experimental evidence suggests that this increased susceptibility is due to suppression of immunity. A variety of neuroendocrine products are released during periods of stress, and a large number of these are now known...

  • Bacterial clearance in the sea urchin, Strongylocentrotus purpuratus

    Creator:
    Yui, Mary A.
    Abstract:
    Characteristics of bacterial clearance were investigated in the purple sea urchin, Strongylocentrotus purpuratus (Echinodermata: Echinoidea). Primary clearance kinetics were determined for three bacteria, a marine Gram negative motile rod, a marine Gram positive non-motile rod, and a fresh water fish pathogen, Aeromonas salmonicida. Various doses of live bacteria were injected...
