An investigation into the humoral immune response of the ascidian urochordate, Styela montereyensis

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...

The structure of the central nervous system of jumping spiders of the genus Phidippus (Araneae:Salticidae)

Creator:: Hill, David Edwin
Abstract:: The central nervous system of Phidippus, while comparable to that of other spiders in most respects, is distinguished by the extraordinary development of visual processing centers, associated with the complex visually-directed behavior of these animals. The primary neuropile of the anterior medial eyes consists of two distinct columnar synapsing regions....

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...

Acute phase proteins in rainbow trout (Oncorhynchus mykiss)

Creator:: Gerwick, Lena
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...

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...

Differential Allele Expression of SOD1 in Biomphalaria glabrata

Creator:: Carolla, Samantha M.
Abstract:: The freshwater snail Biomphalaria glabrata serves as the intermediate host of the blood fluke Schistosoma mansoni. Previous studies using the 13-16-R1 strain of B. glabrata demonstrated an association between the gene encoding Cu/Zn superoxide dismutase (SOD1) and susceptibility/resistance to the parasite. This association is assumed to involve a polymorphism that...

Modulation of respiratory burst activity of trout (Oncorhynchus mykiss) phagocytic cells

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...

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...
