  • The role of costimulation and adjuvants in the development of T cell effector and memory responses

    Creator:
    Maxwell, Joseph R.
    Abstract:
    T cells are one of the key cells in the immune system. Although they are not the first line of defense against a pathogen, their functions can greatly enhance the phagocytosis and destruction of pathogens as well as the development of antibody responses. Furthermore, even when responding T cells have...

  • Uncovering the mechanism of IL-4-mediated T cell survival

    Creator:
    Moscibrocki, Cathleen M.
    Abstract:
    Although IL-4 is a well-characterized multi-functional cytokine, its role as a survival factor in T cells is not completely understood. In an attempt to uncover IL-4-mediated survival, we studied caspase activation in primary mouse T lymphocytes undergoing death by neglect, activation-induced or steroid-induced cell death. Here, we identify the executioner...

  • Characterization of CTIP1 interaction with HP1

    Creator:
    Huddleston, Cortny
    Abstract:
    COUP-TF interacting protein 1 (CTIP1) is a novel C2H2 zinc finger protein that mediates transcriptional repression of ARP1, a member of the COUP-TF subfamily of orphan nuclear receptors [1]. Here we show that CTIP1 interacts with heterochromatin-associated protein 1 (HP1) in vitro and in cells. This interaction suggests the existence...

    Abstract:
    Natural Hazards are a potential risk to Benton County small businesses. However, little has been done to help prepare, respond, recover or resume business following a significant disastrous event. 93 small businesses in Benton County responded to a mailed survey, and 10 additional small businesses participated in both mailed surveys...

  • Establishing the link between construction fatalities and disabling injuries and the design for construction safety concept

    Creator:
    Behm, Michael
    Abstract:
    Construction remains the most hazardous industry in the United States in terms of the aggregate number of fatalities. Twenty percent of all occupational related fatalities occur in construction; approximately three construction workers die per calendar day. Moreover, this trend has been prevalent for too long. One method to reduce this...

  • Public health impact assessment : a science-based methodology for comparing biological agents

    Creator:
    Appt, Julia R.
    Abstract:
    Humans have long suffered the effects of disease causing biological agents. Today bioterrorism appears to be on the rise while at the same time global and ecological changes have resulted in the emergence of new diseases. Potential repercussions of an epidemic pose immense challenges requiring a methodical approach to align...
