Background: Bast fibres from the phloem tissues of flax are scientifically interesting and economically useful due in part to a dynamic system of secondary cell wall deposition. To better understand the molecular mechanisms underlying the process of cell wall development in flax, we extracted...

Klassen, John S., Xia, Ming, Tan, Ming, Wang, Leyi, Han, Ling, Kitova, Elena N., Jiang, Xi, Kitov, Pavel I.
Noroviruses (NoVs), the major cause of viral acute gastroenteritis, recognize histo-blood group antigens (HBGAs) as receptors or attachment factors. To gain a deeper understanding of the interplay between NoVs and their hosts, the affinities of recombinant P dimers (P2's) of a GII.4 NoV (VA387)...

This thesis examines representations of debt and obligation in works of Caribbean Canadian literature published between 1997 and 2007. It uses these representations to discuss the relationship between postcolonial, global, and diasporic approaches to cultural studies. These disciplinary...

Richards, Michele R., Campuzano, Iain D. G., Kitova, Elena N., Klassen, John S., Li, Jun, Privé, Gilbert G., Xiong, Zi Jian, Bagal, Dhanashri
Saposin A (SapA) lipoprotein discs, also known as picodiscs (PDs), represent an attractive method to solubilize glycolipids for protein interaction studies in aqueous solution. Recent electrospray ionization mass spectrometry (ESI-MS) data suggest that the size and composition of...

Children's Expression of Emotional and Cognitive Mental States in their Story Generation from Pictures
Download2014-05-05
Ortlieb, Andrea, Babar, Aseea, Baird, Shelby, Lang, Bretton
Background: The term mental state can be used to describe a person’s emotional or cognitive condition (i.e. feelings, thoughts, or perceptions). Narratives provide an important context for the use of mental state words, since stories in Western culture frequently describe characters’ thoughts...

Cytokine profiles in pregnant gilts experimentally infected with porcine reproductive and respiratory syndrome virus and relationships with viral load and fetal outcome
Download2014
Plastow, G., Souza, C. J. H., Lunney, J. K., Ashley, C., Ladinig, A., Harding, J. C. S.
In spite of extensive research, immunologic control mechanisms against Porcine Reproductive and Respiratory Syndrome virus (PRRSv) remain poorly understood. Cytokine responses have been exhaustively studied in nursery pigs and show contradictory results. Since no detailed reports on cytokine...

Ectopic expression of human and feline CD9 in a Human B cell line confers ß1 integrin-dependent motility on fibronectin and laminin substrates and enhanced tyrosine phosphorylation

Shaw, Andrew R. E., Domanska, Agatha, Mak, Allan, Gilchrist, Anita, Dobler, Kelly, Visser, Lydia, Poppema, Sibrand, Fliegel, Larry, Letarte, Michelle, Willett, Brian J.
Few molecules have been shown to confer cell motility. Although the motility-arresting properties of anti-CD9 monoclonal antibody (mAb) suggest the transmembrane 4 superfamily (TM4SF) member CD9 can induce a motorgenic signal, gene transfection studies have failed to confirm this hypothesis. We...

Endogenous melanocortin antagonist in fish: Structure, brain mapping and regulation by fasting of the goldfish agouti-related protein gene
Download2003
Cerdá-Reverter, J.M., Peter, R.E.
Agouti-related protein (AGRP) is a naturally occurring antagonist of melanocortin. In mammals, central AGRP expression is restricted to the arcuate nucleus in which it plays a key role in the control of energy balance by antagonizing melanocortin effects at melanocortin 4 receptors. In goldfish,...
