Characterization of host defense peptide inducing compounds in human HT-29 cells: Investigating the innate human immune system as an alternative to antibiotics
Cowger, Jordan (2019-04-26)Inducing the innate human immune system's host defense peptide activity presents a novel alternative for antimicrobial therapy in the fight against antibiotic-resistant bacterial strains. The human body has only one ... -
Clostridium difficile: Biology, disease, and treatment
Martin, Elizabeth (2019-03-21)Clostridium difficile is a bacterium that under certain conditions can be pathogenic and cause Clostridium difficile Associated Disease (CDAD). Its virulence factors help this bacterium to survive in undesirable environments ... -
Effect of temperature on hatchability parameters of Cobb Broiler eggs
Temple-Lee, Mary (2016-05-05)The aim of this study was to determine the effects of incubation temperature (34.2; 35.2; 36.4; 37.5°C) on percentage of water loss, percentage hatch of fertile eggs, and total embryonic mortality rate on Cobb 500 Broiler ... -
Expression and isolation of the membrane proteoglycan syndecan-1 from E. coli
McIntire, Ryan (2019-04-26)Syndecan-1 is a membrane proteoglycan, which is a protein with glycosaminoglycans, or long carbohydrate chains, attached to its extracellular domain. The syndecan family is composed of various proteoglycans that each aid ... -
Expression and purification of INI1 truncations
Williams, Rachel (2019-05-06)INI1 (Integrase Interactor 1) is a highly-conserved, core component of the SWI/SNF remodeling complex and is characterized as a tumor suppressor. Mutations in the SMARCB1 gene/INI1 protein cause aggressive pediatric cancers ... -
INI-1 and all of its friends: The analysis of the INI-1 protein and associated proteins that contribute to cancer formation
Moore, Gretchan (2016-05-07)ATRT (Atypical Teratoid Rhabdoid Tumor) is an aggressive pediatric brain tumor. Scientists believe that INI-1's loss from the SWI/SNF complex is what causes the ATRT tumor to develop. However, I hypothesized that rather ... -
Plant defense regulated by EDS1 in response to herbivory attack
Weerakoon, Onellah (2019-04-30)Spodoptera exigua, is a beet armyworm that causes extensive damage to farm crops. They are also resistant to most insecticides, so a molecular approach is necessary to combat their damage. Plant response to stresses are ... -
Well known truncation of INI-1
Sook, Rebekah (2016-05-06)Atypical Teratoid Rhabdoid Tumor (ATRT) is a rare type of pediatric brain tumor that most commonly affects children under the age of 3. Being that the people who are primarily affected by this disease are so young, current ...
