The role of chlamydial inclusion membrane proteins in host-pathogen interaction and the development of novel methods for studying chlamydial biology

Creator:: Alzhanov, Damir T.
Abstract:: The majority of our modern understanding of bacterial pathogenesis is based on the strategy that involves screening bacterial genomes for the presence of the genes encoding pathogenic factors, and analysis of these genes via forward and reverse genetics. Chlamydiae represent a unique group of pathogenic bacteria in which it is...

Investigations of regulatory T cell induction by 2, 3, 7, 8-Tetrachlorodibenzo-p-dioxin during a graft-versus-host response

Creator:: Marshall, Nikki B.
Abstract:: The immune toxicity of 2,3,7,8-Tetrachlorodibenzo-p-dioxin (TCDD) has been studied for over 35 years, but only recently has the profound immune suppression associated with TCDD exposure been linked to induction of regulatory T cells (Tregs). The effects of TCDD are mediated through binding the aryl hydrocarbon receptor (AhR), a ligand-activated transcription...

Virulence factors of Aeromonas salmonicida and their interaction with the salmonid host

Creator:: Rockey, Daniel D.
Abstract:: Selected secreted and cellular virulence factors of Aeromonas salmonicida were examined. A protocol was developed for the separation of two secreted proteases (P1 and P2 protease), and a trout erythrocyte specific hemolysin (T-lysin) from supernatants of cultures of the bacterium. Distinctions between the proteases were demonstrated using molecular weight determinations,...

Analysis of chlamydial and host proteins associated with infection

Creator:: Chu, Hencelyn
Abstract:: Chlamydiae are obligate intracellular bacteria that infect a variety of eukaryotic hosts and affect normal host processes. Within host cells, their developmental cycle takes place inside non-acidified vacuoles termed inclusions. An inclusion membrane composed primarily of secreted chlamydial synthesized proteins called Incs encloses the inclusion. At this location, Incs have...

Genetic variation of chlamydial Inc proteins

Creator:: Viratyosin, Wasna
Abstract:: Genomic analysis is a new approach for the characterization and investigation of novel genes, gene clusters, the function of uncharacterized proteins, and genetic diversity in microorganisms. These approaches are important for the study of chlamydiae, a system in which several genomes have been sequenced but in which techniques for genetic...

Chlamydiae under stress : environmental conditions influence the production and localization of chlamydial antigens

Creator:: Brown, Wendy J.
Abstract:: Chlamydiae are obligate intracellular pathogens that cause several serious conditions within the human host. Many of the symptoms associated with infection are thought to stem from the development of aberrant, or persistent, chlamydiae. Factors leading to chlamydial persistence include deprivation of amino acids, the release of certain cellular factors, or...

Distribution and epizootiology of infectious pancreatic necrosis and infectious hematopoietic necrosis of salmonid fishes in Oregon

Creator:: Mulcahy, Daniel M.
Abstract:: The distribution in Oregon of two viruses affecting salmonid fishes was determined by examination of hatchery and feral fish. Infectious pancreatic necrosis virus (IPNV) was isolated from fish at the Oregon Department of Fish and Wildlife Research Laboratory, Corvallis, Roaring River, Fort Klamath, and Wizard Falls Hatcheries. Fish collected at...

Control of alkane monooxygenase activity and expression in Pseudomonas butanovora

Creator:: Doughty, David M.
Abstract:: The regulation of monooxygenase enzymes has been demonstrated in bacteria that grow on methane and long chain-length alkanes (>C10). Less is known about monooxygenase regulation in short chain alkane oxidizing bacteria that grow on intermediate chain-length alkanes C2-C10. This dissertation focuses on the regulation of butane monooxygenase (BMO) expression and...

Recombinant vaccines against infectious hematopoietic necrosis virus : bacterial systems for vaccine production and delivery

Creator:: Simon, Benjamin E.
Abstract:: Several systems were examined for the production and delivery of recombinant vaccines for fish. C. crescentus was employed to produce a fragment of the IHNV glycoprotein. When administered by injection to 0.5 gram rainbow trout (Oncorhynchus mykiss), one of the fusion proteins (184 amino acids of the IHNV glycoprotein fused...
