  • 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...

  • 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...

  • Immediate effects of acute stress on innate immunity in rainbow trout (Oncorhynchus mykiss)

    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...
