Understanding the role of diets enriched in long chain fatty acids on postpartum reproductive function and embryo development in dairy cows
DownloadSpring 2016
The objectives of this work were to investigate the influence of diets enriched in long chain fatty acids on feed intake, calf birth weight, maternal and neonatal fatty acid profiles, milk production, postpartum reproductive function, early embryonic development and its transcriptome profile in...

Human Cytomegalovirus (HCMV) is the most common cause of congenital infection in newborns. One mechanism for this virus to reach the fetus is to cross the placenta through the syncytiotrophoblast layer. Accumulation and protection of pathogens in the syncytiotrophoblast could affect the systemic...

The POM monoclonals: A comprehensive set of antibodies to non-overlapping prion protein epitopes
Download2008
Hafner-Bratkovič, Iva, Aguzzi, Adriano, Vey, Martin, Polymenidou, Magdalini, Yajima, Bill , James, Michael N. G., Jerala, Roman, Moos, Rita, Scott, Mike, Shi, Yong-zhong, Wuthrich, Kurt, Garen, Graciela, Sigurdson, Christina, Hornemann, Simone, Bellon, Anne, Kav, Nat
PrPSc, a misfolded and aggregated form of the cellular prion protein PrPC, is the only defined constituent of the transmissible agent causing prion diseases. Expression of PrPC in the host organism is necessary for prion replication and for prion neurotoxicity. Understanding prion diseases...

Structural basis for antibody recognition in the receptor-binding domains of toxins A and B from Clostridium difficile
Download2014
Ng, Kenneth K. S., Tanha, Jamshid, Kitova, Elena N., Eugenio, Luiz, Murase, Tomohiko, Klassen, John S., Hussack, Greg, Schorr, Melissa
Clostridium difficile infection is a serious and highly prevalent nosocomial disease in which the two large, Rho-glucosylating toxins TcdA and TcdB are the main virulence factors. We report for the first time crystal structures revealing how neutralizing and non-neutralizing single-domain...

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...

Phage Display Derived Fragment-based Discovery of Antigens for Antibodies associated with Mycobacterial Infections
DownloadSpring 2017
Tuberculosis (TB) remains a global health problem. Incorrect or missed serodiagnosis for TB, especially in resource-limited settings, is one of the main reasons for TB epidemics. Clinically, serological tests that use circulating antibodies are attractive because antibodies in serum are present...

NFRF Exploration awarded in 2020: Personalized therapy for patients with cancer remains one of the most important challenges facing clinicians and researchers. In this proposal we describe a point-of-care device that can diagnose disease, or provide prognostic information, by quantifying protein...

The placenta is an essential transitory fetal organ responsible for the key processes of nutrient, oxygen, and waste transfer between the mother and the fetus throughout gestation. Placental size is, importantly, known to correlate to fetal weight, and the malfunction and malformation of the...

Investigation of the Molecular Mechanisms That Determine Isolate-Specific, Antibody-Mediated Neutralization of HCV infectivity
DownloadFall 2018
It is estimated that there are about 1.75 million new Hepatitis C Virus (HCV) infections per year worldwide and around 20% will develop liver cirrhosis or liver cancer if left untreated. Direct acting antiviral drugs are available for the treatment of HCV with success rates of over 90%. But...
