Pipelines form an integral component of the distribution network of oil and gas products, which have to be transported from production sites to markets far off where there is need for them. Pipelines thus have to traverse long distances and as any other structure are susceptible to damages with...

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 investigation of the strain field and inter-fragmentary movement of a broken hemi-pelvis
DownloadFall 2015
Pelvic fracture is considered a common and sometimes fatal injury. There are still developments in novel pelvic fixations. In order to investigate the performance of these fixations, a specialized testing set-up is required. Typically, the strains of a few selected points and the changes in the...

Carbohydrate–protein interactions play key roles in a range of biological processes. Noticeable advancements have been made in understanding the features associated with the recognition of pyranosides (six-membered ring sugars) by proteins. In contrast, similar detailed studies about the...

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....

Cervid Prion Protein Polymorphisms Modulate the Diversity of Chronic Wasting Disease Prion Strains
DownloadSpring 2017
Chronic wasting disease (CWD) is a contagious prion disease spreading and emerging in wild and captive Cervidae species worldwide. Prion diseases are fatal neurodegenerative disorders occurring in various mammalian species including deer, elk, sheep, cattle and humans. Central to prion...

Characterization of Binding of LILRA3 and LILRB2 to the Myelin-Associated Inhibitors and Major Histocompatibility Class I Molecules
DownloadFall 2018
The leukocyte immunoglobulin-like receptor family (LILR) is composed of inhibitory and activating receptors that are widely expressed on immune cells and interact with classical and non-classical MHC-I. Recently, several ligands have been identified for the LILRs including the three...

Choline demands during lactation are high; however, detailed knowledge is lacking regarding the optimal dietary intake during this critical period. The present study was designed to determine the effects of varying intakes of choline on maternal immune function during lactation. Primiparous...

Spring 2013
The adaptive immune response against intracellular pathogens is largely mediated by CD8+ T lymphocytes. The clonal expansion and expression of cytolytic and immune stimulatory proteins by CD8+ T cells is responsible for their protective immune function. Prior to exhibiting effector activity,...
