RNA tumor viruses, such as avian myeloblastosis virus (AMV)
and MC29 virus, cause malignant transformation of the cells they infect.
Transformed cells are able to continually produce progeny virus
particles.
Evidence is given that RNA-dependent RNA polymerase is present
in virus infected cells. RNA-dependent RNA polymerase isolated
from AMV-infected myeloblasts...
Parasitological and selected microbiological safety aspects
of Nham (Thai-style fermented pork sausage) were evaluated. Pork
meat from pigs experimentally infected with Trichinella spiralis
was divided into 4 portions; 3 portions were frozen at -23°C for
12, 18 and 24 hours before they were made into Nham. The formula
for fermented...
This compilation of theses and dissertations (a part of the OSU Bibliographic Series) for the period 1970-1977 reflects this university's emphasis on research and graduate study. It may be viewed as an indicator of the contributions made to the state of Oregon through graduate study and research at Oregon State...
The present study investigated the effects of stress and exercise on seawater (SW) adaptation and cortisol dynamics in juvenile steelhead (Oncorhynchus mykiss). To examine the effects of stress, fish acclimated to freshwater (FW) were subjected for 3 hours to confinement stress in FW, and subsequently SW (25 ppt) was introduced...
The foundation of the research compilation presented here began
with the derivation of an improved method for obtaining optimal in vitro
mitogenic responses in salmonid lymphocyte cultures by utilizing
autologous or homologous plasma as the primary serum supplement. It was
observed that lymphocytes which were previously unresponsive to
mitogenic challenge...
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...
Since the decline of salmonid populations in the Pacific Northwest, supplementation programs have become frequently implemented by hatcheries as a way to protect and conserve wild stock. However, hatchery-reared fish have lower fitness than wild fish which is likely due to adaptation to the hatchery environment, i.e., domestication selection. Fish...
