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:: 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...

Creator:: DeWan, Dale Frederick
Abstract:: Adaptive immune capabilities of the Urochordate S. montereyensis were studied. Animals repeatedly injected with bacteria were bled and the following properties were measured in vitro: agglutinin, bactericidin, bacteria-cell association. Both Gram (+) and Gram (-) bacteria were isolated from the gut of S. montereyensis and used as antigens at 10⁸...

Creator:: Demers, Nora Egan
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...
