A novel mouse model of acute antibody-mediated transplant rejection shows simultaneous complement activating and anti-inflammatory effects of donor specific IgG antibodies
DownloadFall 2013
We developed a small animal model of pure antibody-mediated rejection (ABMR) by utilizing fully major histocompatibility complex (MHC) mismatched kidney allografts in mice. By examining resultant ABMR pathology, we show that terminal complement products C5a and C5b-9 are crucial in establishing...

Introduction: ABO-incompatible organ transplants (ABOi-Tx) recipients are at high-risk of rapid rejection mediated by ABO antibodies (ABO Abs). To manage and expand ABOi-Tx, it is necessary to understand the mechanism(s) by which natural and induced ABO Abs develop. Prior studies have used...

An acute 72hr growth inhibition test using ampicillin on a mixed population of microalgae (Pseudokirchneriella subcapitata., Chlorella spp., Scenedesmus spp.)
Download04/15/2016
Increased use of pharmaceuticals such as antibiotics has lead to the presence of biologically active antibiotics (i.e ampicillin) in surface waters, causing awareness of possible human and environmental health concerns. These non-target effects could cause effects on aquatic ecosystems and...

Cohen, M. B., Aguda, R. M., Bottrell, D. G., Gould, F. L., Litsinger, J. A., Theunis, W., Peferoen, M., Cruz, W. T., Decock, C., Lambert, B.
Abstract: Bacillus thuringiensis Berliner isolates were detected in 57% of 801 samples of rice grain dust, soil, rice field arthropods, and miscellaneous habitats (rice straw compost and mammal faeces) collected at 100 sites in the Philippines. The collection yielded 3950 isolates of B....

Benthic community and environmental analysis of Scleractinian coral habitat in Tela Bay, Honduras
Download2015-10-04
Coral reef degradation and loss of coral species is occurring at increasing rates throughout the world's oceans, where corals are faced with the effects of a destructive combination of natural and anthropogenic stressors. Overfishing, tourism, extraction of fossil fuels, coral mining, increased...

Comparing the anti-microbial effect of penicillin to that of chlorine dioxide on three opportunistic pathogens
Download2013-12-04
Introduction: The discovery of penicillin is a watershed in the history of medicine. Today, antibiotics are a part of everyday life. However, some speculate that society may return to the pre-antibiotic era if the increasing emergence and spread of antibiotic resistant bacteria cannot be slowed....

E.coli and bacteriophage T4: Using lytic bacteriophages to prevent tissue culture contamination
Download2014-07-04
Bacteria are commonly encountered cell culture contaminants. Due to the costly consequences of media contamination and the loss of research production, further research should be devoted to the prevention of contamination so time and money are not wasted. Phage have been demonstrated to prevent...
