A lysozyme-like protein in the salivary glands of adult Aedes aegypti : functional and biochemical characteristics

Creator:: Pimentel, Gliceria Estandian, 1958-
Abstract:: This study investigated some functional and biochemical characteristics of a bacteriolytic protein in the salivary glands of adult Aedes aecupti. A method for the isolation of this protein from other mosquito salivary gland components is also described. Based on some of its biochemical properties, this bacteriolytic protein can be classified...

Prey selection by the tropical marine snail Thais melones : a study of the effects of interindividual variation and foraging experience on growth and gonad development

Creator:: West, Lani
Abstract:: I studied the feeding behavior of marked individuals of the carnivorous marine snail Thais melones in a rocky shore habitat of Pacific Panama. The population of snails consume a variety of invertebrate species such as bivalves, limpets, and polychaetes. Individuals exhibited a range of diet breadth, with some specialized, but...

Chronic exposure of rodents to indole-3-carbinol and 3,3'-diindolylmethane : implications for drug metabolism, chemoprevention and human health

Creator:: Leibelt, Dustin A.
Abstract:: Indole-3-carbinol (I3C) is a naturally occurring plant alkaloid, found in significant concentrations in cruciferous vegetables such as broccoli and Brussels sprouts. I3C is an unstable compound that undergoes rapid oligomerization in an acidic environment to form higher order condensation products (I3C-ACPs), such as 3-3'-diindolylmethane (DIM). Both I3C and DIM are...

The dynamics of an isolated population of Acartia tonsa Dana (Copepoda) in Yaquina Bay, Oregon

Creator:: Johnson, John Kenneth
Abstract:: In the upper estuary of Yaquina Bay, Oregon, there is an annual population explosion of Acartia tonsa, (Dana) a calanoid copepod, during the months of July, August and September, followed by a rapid decline to virtual extinction in November. The restricted estuarine distribution affords an excellent opportunity to study the...

Mechanisms for the interaction of environmental mycobacteria with host cells

Creator:: Harriff, Melanie J.
Abstract:: Environmental mycobacteria are important opportunistic pathogens for many hosts, including humans, cattle, and fish. Two well-studied species are Mycobacterium avium subsp. avium, a significant cause of disseminated bacterial disease in patients with AIDS, and Mycobacterium avium subsp. paratuberculosis, the cause of Johne’s disease in cattle. Many other species that are...

Rainbow trout cystatin C : gene expression, heterologous production and characterization

Creator:: Li, Fugen
Abstract:: Rainbow trout cystatin C cDNA has been isolated from trout liver. The full-length cystatin cDNA (674 bp) included the 5'untranslated region and the polyadenylation signal sequence AATAAA in the 3' region. Translation of the cDNA defines 132 amino acid residues. Comparison of the amino acid sequence with those of family...

The effects of elevated temperature and stress on immune function in juvenile chinook salmon (Oncorhynchus tshawytscha)

Creator:: Harrahy, Laura Nicole Martini
Abstract:: Stress, including extreme or rapidly changing temperatures, are known to have deleterious effects on fish health and physiology. This thesis examines the combined effects of elevated acclimation temperature and acute handling stress on the number of antibody producing cells, plasma lysozyme concentrations, and the number of pronephric leukocytes in juvenile...

Surface sediments of the Panama Basin : coarse components

Creator:: Kowsmann, Renato O.
Abstract:: The abundance and distribution of biogenic, terrigenous and volcanic particles in the Panama Basin are markedly dependent on bottom topography and dissolution of calcite in the deeper parts of the basin. Of the coarse fraction (>62μ), foraminiferal tests and acidic volcanic glass shards are concentrated on the Cocos and Carnegie...
