Examination of the Regulation of Phosphorylation Events in Macrophage Adhesion and Response to Zymosan
DownloadFall 2012
Macrophages play a central role in innate immunity, most notably in tissue repair, phagocytosis of dead or infected cells, secretion of chemokine and cytokines at sites of infection, as well as the activation of other immune cells. These roles are highly dependent on their capacity to migrate...

Fall 2013
Proline-rich tyrosine kinase 2 (Pyk2) is a non-receptor protein tyrosine kinase that is highly expressed in hematopoietic cells. Our lab generated two polyclonal antibodies to investigate the regulation of Pyk2 in macrophages and T cells. In macrophages the N-terminal antibody immunoprecipitated...

Molecular Regulation and Function of the Protein Tyrosine Kinase Pyk2 in Cytotoxic T Lymphocytes
DownloadFall 2013
Cytotoxic T lymphocytes (CTL) play a critical role in immune surveillance and elimination of virus-infected and malignant cells. CTL utilize two major cell-contact dependent mechanisms to kill antigen-bearing target cells. One mechanism involves the directional release of cytolytic molecules...
