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.

Lipopolysaccharide Inhibits Interleukin–13-induced Chemokine (C-C motif) Ligand 26 in Human Airway Epithelial Cells: Possible Role in Eosinophil Chemotaxis in Allergic Asthma
DownloadFall 2017
Background Allergic asthma is characterized by increased level of Interleukin-13 (IL-13) in the lungs. IL-13 promotes eosinophilic infiltration in the airways by stimulating airway epithelial cells to release eotaxin-3 (CCL26) through the Janus activated kinase-2 (JAK-2)/signal transducer and...

Mapping intracellular cytokine pools in granulocytes: Dynamic storage and trafficking sites of interleukin-9 and interleukin-13 in human eosinophils
DownloadFall 2020
Eosinophils are immune cells with constantly evolving roles in both innate and adaptive immunity and have long been associated with the predominant pathology of the human airways, asthma. Eosinophils are specialized in their granulocytic nature, possessing several membrane-bound secretory...

Mast Cell Response to Influenza A Infection and Their Antiviral Activity in Co-culture with Epithelial Cells
DownloadFall 2018
Well known their role in allergic inflammation, mast cells (MC) are also important in innate immunity against pathogens. MC are abundant in the respiratory tract and in close proximity to epithelial cells (EC) where they could be important in host defenses or the pathogenesis of viral infections...
