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...

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 examination of linking and blocking procedures for use in deflection cantilever array-based protein detection
DownloadFall 2011
In this project common linking and blocking procedures were examined for use in multiplexed deflection cantilever array-based detection of proteins. A human interferon gamma (INF-γ) enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay (ELISA) kit was used to evaluate the effectiveness of the linking and blocking...

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...

Enterococcus faecalis 710C is a lactic acid bacterium that produces two bacterocins, ent7A and ent7B. Both ent7A and ent7B have strong activity against gram-positive food pathogens including Listeria spp., Clostridium spp., vancomycin-resistant enterococci (VRE) and methicillin-resistant...
