This decommissioned ERA site remains active temporarily to support our final migration steps to https://ualberta.scholaris.ca, ERA's new home. All new collections and items, including Spring 2025 theses, are at that site. For assistance, please contact erahelp@ualberta.ca.
Theses and Dissertations
This collection contains theses and dissertations of graduate students of the University of Alberta. The collection contains a very large number of theses electronically available that were granted from 1947 to 2009, 90% of theses granted from 2009-2014, and 100% of theses granted from April 2014 to the present (as long as the theses are not under temporary embargo by agreement with the Faculty of Graduate and Postdoctoral Studies). IMPORTANT NOTE: To conduct a comprehensive search of all UofA theses granted and in University of Alberta Libraries collections, search the library catalogue at www.library.ualberta.ca - you may search by Author, Title, Keyword, or search by Department.
To retrieve all theses and dissertations associated with a specific department from the library catalogue, choose 'Advanced' and keyword search "university of alberta dept of english" OR "university of alberta department of english" (for example). Past graduates who wish to have their thesis or dissertation added to this collection can contact us at erahelp@ualberta.ca.

Implications of genetic diversity on expression of LILRB1 in Natural Killer cells and susceptibility to HCMV infection in transplant patients
DownloadFall 2016
Leukocyte Ig-like Receptor 1 (LILRB1) is an inhibitory receptor expressed on a number of immune cells. The expression profile on NK cells is variable between people, with a range of 25-80% of NK cells expressing LILRB1. We previously uncovered a correlation between genotype within the 5’ end of...

Natural Killer (NK) cells are a major part of the innate immune defence against viral infection and tumours. However, our understanding of how NK cells can be exploited for antiviral and antitumor therapy is still in its infancy. We are interested in the interplay between NK cells and Vaccinia...

Natural killer (NK) cells are innate immune lymphocytes that provide protection against virus infection and transformation. The cytolytic activity of NK cells is controlled by the signaling of receptors that stimulate or inhibit activation. One such inhibitory receptor expressed on human NK cells...
