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.

Fall 2016
Background: NK cells are a key cellular component of antibody-mediated rejection (ABMR), but their role in ABMR has not been identified. We postulated that NK cells are stimulated through their CD16a antibody receptors by donor-specific anti-HLA antibodies in ABMR. There is currently no direct...

Neutrophils promote T cell activation in HIV infection through the regulated release of CD44 bound, cell surface Galectin-9
DownloadSpring 2021
Neutrophils are the most abundant leukocyte in the human immune system constituting 50-80% of all white blood cells in the peripheral blood. Neutrophils are potent source of protective immune responses through the production of reactive oxygen species (ROS), extracellular trap formation, cytokine...

Pathologic Evaluation of Type 2 PorcineReproductive and Respiratory SyndromeVirus Infection at the Maternal-FetalInterface of Late Gestation Pregnant Gilts
Download2016-03-10
Novakovic, Predrag, Harding, John C. S., Al-Dissi, Ahmad, Ladinig, Andrea, Detmer, Susan E.
The pathogenesis of fetal death caused by porcine reproductive and respiratory syndromevirus (PRRSV) remains unclear. The objective of this study was to improve our understand-ing of the pathogenesis by assessing potential relationships between specific histopatho-logical lesions and PRRSV RNA...

Regulation of Anti-tumor Immunity in Colorectal Cancer by Interaction of Exosome Immune Complexes with Fc gamma Receptors
DownloadSpring 2019
Targeted therapy is difficult for colorectal cancer (CRC) due to lack of conserved tumor associated antigens (TAA). Immunotherapies for CRC directed at TAA that can overcome intestinal tolerance need to be developed to improve survival of CRC patients. Exosomes are extracellular vesicles secreted...

Fall 2017
T cell development is a highly dynamic process driven by interactions between developing hematopoietic progenitor cells and numerous cell types that nurture their development. Ultimately, signals detected by developing progenitors lead to the activation of cellular signaling pathways that...

The contribution of Sting and Nlrp3 activation to anti-tumour immunity in microsatellite instable colorectal cancer
DownloadFall 2019
The constant exposure of the intestine to antigens forces the mucosal immune system to be tolerant to avoid a constitutively inflamed state. Unfortunately, immune tolerance can allow colorectal cancers (CRCs) to escape detection. The majority of CRCs are chromosomally instable (CIN) and display...

Vaccinia Virus WR induces rapid surface expression of a host molecule detected by the antibody 4C7 that is distinct from CLEC2D
Download2016-01-01
Poxviruses generally limit production of cellular proteins, which provides a mechanism for natural killer (NK) cells to detect infection through loss of cell surface proteins that engage NK cell inhibitory receptors. In this study we examined the effect of active infection with vaccinia virus...
