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.

Co-transplantation of neonatal porcine islets with Sertoli cells combined with short-term monoclonal antibody therapy in preventing neonatal porcine islet xenograft rejection
DownloadFall 2009
The need for an unlimited source of islets and a safer method of immunosuppression has limited the widespread application of islet transplantation. To remedy the shortage of donor tissue, xenotransplantation of neonatal porcine islets (NPI) has been proposed. In this study we sought to determine...

Evaluation of the Protection Induced by a Monotherapy of Anti-LFA-1 Monoclonal Antibody and Co-transplantation of Neonatal Porcine Islets with Sertoli Cells
DownloadSpring 2012
Two major barriers to islet transplantation are the need for an unlimited source of donor tissue and a safer method of immunosuppression. These may be overcome by xenotransplantation of neonatal porcine islets (NPI) along with combined co-transplantation of neonatal porcine Sertoli cells (SC)...

Neonatal Porcine Islet Xenotransplantation: Non-invasive in vivo imaging and basic islet biology
DownloadFall 2022
Islet transplantation has been proven as a successful clinical therapy for diabetes; however, its widespread use is limited by multiple factors including a shortage of human donors, the need for long term immunosuppression and difficulty with graft monitoring post transplantation. Pig islet...
