Spring 2010
These two studies investigate the immune responses of lung and kidney transplant recipients to the influenza vaccine. The study involving kidney transplant recipients developed a novel flow cytometry assay to measure cell-mediated immunity in response to influenza vaccination. The activation of...

Human T-lymphotropic virus type I (HTLV-I) is a persistent human retrovirus characterized by life-long infection and risk of developing HAM/TSP, a progressive neurological and inflammatory disease. Despite extensive studies of HTLV-I, a complete understanding of the viral dynamics has been...

Mechanisms of Neonatal Intestinal Failure-Associated Liver Disease: Exploring the Gut-Liver Axis
DownloadSpring 2018
Neonates with intestinal failure (IF), who must rely on parenteral nutrition (PN) for growth and maintenance of health, are at risk for intestinal failure-associated liver disease (IFALD). In neonates, short bowel syndrome (SBS) as a result of intestinal resection is the most common cause of IF....

Lake, R., Bailey, T., Yonge, O., Marrie, T.J., Herman, B., Rosychuk, R.J.
To assess knowledge of pandemic influenza, we administered a questionnaire to all medical students at the University of Alberta; 354 (69%) of 510 students responded. Data from questionnaires such as this could help determine the role of medical students during a public health emergency.

Novel Mucosal Vaccines to Improve Immune and Health Status of Periparturient Dairy Cows and Increase their Productive Potentials
DownloadFall 2013
The transition period is critical for the health and productivity of dairy cows. Feeding high-grain diets immediately after parturition is necessary to support high milk production. However, high-grain diets are associated with acidic rumen pH and alterations in the composition of rumen...

Klassen, John S., Cairo, Christopher W.Xiong, Zi Jian, Li, Jun, Privé, Gilbert G., Leney, Aneika C., Kitova, Elena N., Darestani, Reza Rezaei, Zou, Chunxia, Nikjah, Sanaz
Protein interactions with glycolipids are implicated in diverse cellular processes. However, the study of protein–glycolipid complexes remains a significant experimental challenge. Here, we describe a powerful new assay that combines electrospray ionization mass spectrometry (ESI-MS) and...

Liang, Guanxiang, Bao, Hua, Guan, Leluo, Griebel, Philip J., Stothard, Paul, McFadden, Thomas B., Malmuthuge, Nilusha
This study aimed to investigate the potential regulatory role of miRNAs in the development of gastrointestinal tract (GIT) during the early life of dairy calves. Rumen and small intestinal (mid-jejunum and ileum) tissue samples were collected from newborn (30 min after birth; n = 3), 7-day-old...

Repeated oronasal exposure to lipopolysaccharide induced mucosal IgA responses in periparturient dairy cows
Download2014
Dunn, Suzanna M., Iqbal, Summera, Zebeli, Qendrim, Mansmann, Dominik A., Ametaj, Burim N.
This study investigated the effects of repeated oronasal treatment with lipopolysaccharide (LPS) on the humoral immune responses in saliva, vaginal mucus, and the plasma markers of the acute phase response in periparturient dairy cows. One hundred pregnant Holstein cows were administered either 3...

Infectious respiratory diseases, caused by viruses and bacteria that attack the respiratory system, constitute a serious threat in public health around the world. Pathogens can be transmitted in the air though large droplets or aerosols. As aerosols can linger in the environment for a prolonged...
