The role of eosinophils in the neonatal murine thymus; Expression of Indoleamine 2,3-dioxygenase
DownloadFall 2009
Rationale: Eosinophils are “end cell” leucocytes, associated with allergy, asthma and helminthiasis. At sites of inflammation, eosinophils may modulate immune response through expression of the extra-hepatic tryptophan-catabolising enzyme, Indoleamine 2, 3-dioxygenase (IDO). Kynurenines, products...

BackgroundThe assessment of acute pain due to trauma (APT) in adults is pivotal to clinical decision-making for optimal pain management. Clinicians are expected to employ validated measurement tools, such as the Numerical Rating Scale (NRS), to examine the complex and unique phenomenon of pain of...

Respiratory Syncytial Virus infection biases the immune response in favor of Th2: the role of Indoleamine 2, 3-dioxygenase
DownloadSpring 2012
Infants that develop severe bronchiolitis due to Respiratory Syncytial Virus (RSV) are at increased risk of developing asthma later in life. To begin my studies in vitro, purified RSV stock was needed. My first study established the critical steps in RSV purification to determine a procedure that...
