DNA vaccines encoding the glycoprotein genes of spring viremia of carp virus, snakehead rhabdovirus, or infectious hematopoietic necrosis virus induce protective immunity in rainbow trout (Oncorhynchus mykiss) against an infectious hematopoietic necrosis virus lethal challenge

Creator:: Drennan, John D.
Abstract:: Recent advances in DNA vaccine technology has brought about a promising strategy for the control of viruses that contain surface membrane glycoproteins. This type of vaccine involves the intramuscular injection of a bacterial plasmid containing a gene encoding a viral protein. The strategy uses eukaryotic processing of the protein as...

Monoclonal antibodies to 5'-deoxy-5' methylthioadenosine phosphorylase

Creator:: Parker, Ricardo Jerome
Abstract:: 5'-Deoxy-5'-methylthioadenosine phosphorylase catalyzes the phosphorolytic cleavage of 5'-deoxy-5'-methylthioadenosine to form 5'-deoxy-5'-methylthioribose-1-phosphate and adenine in mammalian cells and plays an important role in methionine and purine salvage. The enzyme is abundant in normal tissues and in cell lines derived from normal cells. However, several malignant tissues and cell lines have been...

Analysis of Bacteroidales 16S rRNA gene sequences from a geographically isolated human population

Creator:: Petersen, Carolyn A.
Abstract:: Standard methods of measuring fecal pollution in water do not distinguish between human and non-human sources. Molecular technology enabled the development of host-specific markers that distinguish fecal sources. Human specific PCR primers, HF183F and HF134F, were designed based on phylogenetic analyses of partial 16S rRNA gene sequences from the Bacteroidales...

Chromatophores as cell-based biosensors for the detection of chemically and biologically toxic substances

Creator:: Dukovcic, Stephanie R.
Abstract:: Cell-based biosensors are function-based detectors that use the physiological response of a living cell to sense biologically stimulating agents. This emerging technology extends the application of current detection methods by reporting on the toxicity of a sample and the potential to cause disease. Previously, Betta splendens erythrophores have been described...

Harnessing Heterogeneity in Human Gut Microbiome Data

Creator:: Tataru, Christine
Abstract:: The focus of this thesis is to design, characterize, and apply novel computational methods and molecular systems to interrogate heterogeneous human gut microbiome-related phenomena. In Chapter 2, I design, implement, and characterize a method for embedding co-occurrence patterns derived from massive 16s amplicon datasets. I use this method to 1....

Interactions between microbial dynamics, water flow, and solute transport in unsaturated porous media

Creator:: Yarwood, Rockie R.
Abstract:: Bioremediation in the vadose zone is unpredictable because of poor understanding of factors influencing microbial growth in this environment. A lab-scale experimental system was developed to examine, noninvasively, interactions between microbial growth, water flow, and solute transport in unsaturated porous media. Measurements of microbial colonization, and its impact on hydrology,...

The role of Salmonella typhimurium type three secretion system (T3SS) and effector proteins in chromatophore cell response.

Creator:: Farhad, Mohammad
Abstract:: Bacterial contamination of food poses a great risk to human health worldwide. A chromatophore cell-based biosensor, utilizing B. splendens erythrophore cells, is an emerging technology that has shown potential to detect bacterial toxicity based on function-dependent mechanisms. Previous studies have investigated the response of erythrophore cells to foodborne pathogens, pesticides,...

Secreted Agrobacterium rhizogenes Effector Protein GALLS Interacts with Arabidopsis Host Proteins and Stimulates Agrobacterium-mediated Transformation

Creator:: Wei, Wei
Abstract:: Agrobacterium species transform plant cells by targeting a portion of plasmid-encoded bacterial DNA to the host nucleus. Genetic transformation by A. tumefaciens and A. rhizogenes requires secreted effector proteins. The tumor-inducing (Ti) plasmid from virulent A. tumefaciens encodes VirE2, a secreted single-stranded DNA-binding protein required for efficient transformation of hosts....

The Effects of the Immunity Factor Relish on Aging Phenotypes in Drosophila melanogaster

Creator:: Kumar, Nandita
Abstract:: Aging is a complex biological phenomenon that alters many different physiological processes. Although many age-related phenotypes, such as neurodegeneration, weakening circadian rhythms, and inflammaging, are well-studied, the links between them are not. To elucidate these links we created an inflammation-like state in Drosophila melanogaster by overexpressing Relish (Rel), an NFκB...
