Abstract:: The acute phase response (APR) includes an early response of the innate immune system to an inflammatory agent. Acute phase proteins (APP) are produced at increased rates in the liver during this response. The APR has been well characterized in mammals, but it is unclear to what degree teleosts mount...

Creator:: Galvan, Irja S.
Abstract:: In a comparison of the mammalian and fish immune systems many similarities and differences are found. While most of the differences occur in the acquired or lymphoid arm of immunity, the nonlymphoid immune systems of fish and mammals share many similarities. For instance, both animal groups use phagocytic neutrophils and...

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...

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...

Abstract:: This thesis tests the hypothesis that innate immunity may be enhanced immediately following a stressful event. The experiments characterize the acute effects of the fight or flight response on some immunological and endocrine parameters in rainbow trout (Oncorhynchus mykiss). Plasma cortisol and catecholamines were elevated within seconds of the initiation...
