  • Glucocorticoid regulation of salmonid B lymphocytes

    Creator:
    Tripp, Ralph A.
    Abstract:
    The in vitro effects of cortisol in regulating salmonid B cell functions were investigated. B cells at three distinct stages of differentiation were examined for cortisol sensitivity. B lymphocyte responses were examined 1) during the early stage of the precursor, 2) during the intermediate stage of differentiation associated with clonal...

  • B-cell heterogeneity in salmonids

    Creator:
    Irwin, Michael J.
    Abstract:
    Salmonid B lymphocytes were stimulated both in vivo and in vitro and shown to produce antibody specific for the immunogen. A passive hemolytic plaque assay was employed to demonstrate B cells producing specific antibody. Characterization of plaque forming cells (PFCs) involved sequential inhibition with a series of graded concentrations of...

  • B-cell development in rainbow trout : a molecular/cellular based approach

    Creator:
    Hansen, John D. (John David)
    Abstract:
    Currently little is known about the mechanisms and locations of lymphocyte development in teleosts. In this study several aspects of the underlying factors which govern B lymphocyte development in trout were investigated which included: the isolation and characterization of immunoglobulin heavy chain (IgH) genes, the recombination activating genes 1 and...

  • Hepatitis B and liver cancer among Hmong : knowledge, perceptions of risk, and barriers to hepatitis B screening and vaccination

    Creator:
    Kue, Jennifer
    Abstract:
    Chronic hepatitis B disproportionately affects Asian Americans. Although Asians make up only 4.2% of the total United States (U.S.) population, they account for more than half of those infected with hepatitis B. If left untreated, chronic hepatitis B could lead to cirrhosis, liver damage, and liver cancer. Studies show that...

  • Vitamin B₁₂ production and depletion in a naturally eutrophic lake

    Creator:
    Gillespie, P. A.
    Abstract:
    The vitamin B₁₂ concentrations in both the water and sediments of Klamath Lake were found to vary significantly during a one-year period. The patterns of B₁₂ distribution were remarkably similar among the three main sites. In all cases there was an extremely sharp gradation in concentration in relation to depth...

  • Targeted development of antivirals against influenza A and respiratory syncytial virus

    Creator:
    Lupfer, Christopher
    Abstract:
    Influenza A and Respiratory Syncytial Virus (RSV) are both enveloped, negative strand RNA viruses which infect the respiratory mucosa of animals and humans. Despite decades of research and development of antivirals and vaccines, both of these viruses continue to be a major health concern throughout the world. The focus of...

  • Mormons and evolution : a history of B. H. Roberts and his attempt to reconcile science and religion

    Creator:
    Reid, Tim S.
    Abstract:
    Although much has been written describing the various reactions to the origin of Species in America, the Mormon reaction to Darwinism has been largely ignored. This dissertation will recount the history of this reaction as exemplified by the life and works of B. H. Roberts. Roberts's intellectual pursuits early in...

  • IC-Antenna Co-Integration for Efficient and Scalable Millimeter-Wave Antenna Interfaces

    Creator:
    Liu,Yao
    Abstract:
    Millimeter-wave (mm-wave) technology promises high speed, high system capacity and low latency interconnects with reduced cost. Applications like high data-rate wireless links, next generation automotive sensors and security body scanners highly depend on mm-wave technology innovations. As operating frequency moves to higher mm-wave bands, shrinking antenna dimensions enable co-integration of...
