Gene duplications are common in the vertebrate genome, and duplicated loci often show a variation in copy number that may have important phenotypic effects. Here we describe a powerful method for quantification of duplicated copies based on pyrosequencing. A reliable quantification was obtained...

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...

Von Willebrand Factor (VWF) is a multimeric adhesive glycoprotein that is exclusively expressed in endothelial cells (EC) and megakaryocytes. This procoagulant protein is involved in maintaining primary hemostasis and thrombus formation. However, there are pathological and physiological...

Masters thesis. Qualitatively and quantitatively documents the agonistic behaviour of captive male brown lemmings. Lemmings used in the experiments were originally from Point Barrow and maintained since 1962 as a colony at the Arctic Research Center in College, Alaska. Shipments to the University...

The circulating anti-parasite antibody response against Giardia lamblia in symptomatic and asymptomatic Egyptian children with confirmed giardiasis was examined. Symptomatic patients were identified using the following criteria: presence of only G. lamblia cysts in the feces, and one or more of...

Enterohemorrhagic Escherichia coli (EHEC) serotype O157:H7 is an important foodborne pathogen, and cattle are considered the primary reservoir of this bacterium. Research was undertaken to ascertain factors that regulate competitive exclusion of E. coli O157:H7. A gnotobiotic (GB) murine model...

An individual’s body weight is tightly regulated by balancing food intake with energy expenditure. This is accomplished in part by secretion of the hormone leptin by adipocytes, an excess of which signals to reduce appetite and increase activity through action in the hypothalamic region of the...

Coat color in Holstein dairy cattle is primarily controlled by the melanocortin 1 receptor (MC1R) gene, a central determinant of black (eumelanin) vs. red/brown pheomelanin synthesis across animal species. The major MC1R alleles in Holsteins are Dominant Black (MC1RD) and Recessive Red (MC1Re). A...
