Expression and Putative Function of Innate Immunity Genes under In Situ Conditions in the Symbiotic Hydrothermal Vent Tubeworm Ridgeia piscesae
(Public Library of Science, 2012)The relationships between hydrothermal vent tubeworms and sulfide-oxidizing bacteria have served as model associations for understanding chemoautotrophy and endosymbiosis. Numerous studies have focused on the physiological ... -
Foxp3 Interacts With c-Rel to Mediate NF-\(\kappa\)B Repression
(Public Library of Science, 2011)Expression of the lineage-specific DNA-binding factor Foxp3 controls the development and function of naturally occurring regulatory T cells. Foxp3 has been shown to interact with a multitude of transcriptional regulators ... -
"Oft Have I Heard of Sanctuary Men": Fictions of Refuge in Early Shakespeare
(2014-06-06)This study weaves together several strands of inquiry. On the level of dramatic analysis, I look to understand how "sanctuary" spaces operate in Shakespeare's early plays and the ways in which such zones relate to genre. ... -
Relationship of vaccine efficacy to the kinetics of DC and T-cell responses induced by PLG-based cancer vaccines
(Landes Bioscience, 2011)Cancer vaccines are typically formulated for bolus injection and often produce short-lived immunostimulation resulting in poor temporal control over immune cell activation and weak oncolytic activity. One means of overcoming ... -
Stochastic Expression of the Interferon-β Gene
(Public Library of Science, 2012)Virus infection of mammalian cells induces the production of high levels of type I interferons (IFNα and β), cytokines that orchestrate antiviral innate and adaptive immunity. Previous studies have shown that only a fraction ...
