The Development and Application of Quantitative Reverse Transcriptase Polymerase Chain Reaction for the Detection of Avian Reoviruses

Guo, Kejun (2008-08-15)

We developed a TaqMan probe based real-time RT-PCR for qualitative and quantitative detection of avian reoviruses (ARVs). The primer-probe set was designed from the conserved region of ARV S4 genome segment. ARV strains ...

Development and Screening of Targeted Anticancer Nanomedicines

Gillespie, James William (2015-07-29)

Cancer remains a significant healthcare burden worldwide and novel strategies to improve treatment outcomes with improved patient quality of life are needed. Recently, nanomedicines, which encapsulate a therapeutic drug ...

Development of a Recombinant Noncytopathic Bovine Viral Diarrhea Virus Stably Expressing Enhanced Green Fluorescent Protein

Fan, Zhenchuan (2005-08-15)

Noncytopathic (NCP) type-I bovine viral diarrhea virus (BVDV) strain SD1 was originally isolated from a persistently infected heifer with fatal mucosal disease (MD) and represents the only reported nucleotide sequence of ...

Interferon Kinetics and its effect on DNA vaccine induced immunity in channel catfish (Ictalurus punctatus)

Harder, Kendal (2008-08-15)

Increasing the effectiveness of vaccination against channel catfish diseases, including channel catfish virus (CCV) is important economically and clinically for channel catfish farming. Catfish interferon (IFN), an innate, ...

Landscape Phage-Targeted Drug Delivery to Breast Cancer Cells

Fagbohun, Olusegun (2010-12-08)

The prevalence of breast cancer is still a public health burden worldwide. Recently, there has been significant progress in the management of breast cancer with the two FDA-approved cancer nanomedicines employing the concept ...

Molecular Responses of Giardia lamblia to Gamma-Irradiation

Lenaghan, Scott (2008-08-15)

Giardia lamblia (syn intestinalis, syn duodenalis) is an important human pathogen and the etiological agent of giardiasis, the most common gastrointestinal disease in the world. Since its discovery in 1681, Giardia has ...

Multivariate Analyses of Disease Outcomes of Chlamydial Infections in Cattle and Mice

Kim, Tea (2005-05-15)

In humans, Chlamydia pneumoniae infection is implicated in 10 ~ 15% of bronchitis and community-acquired pneumonia, and 50 ~ 70% of adults have antibodies to Chlamydia pneumoniae. In livestock animals, ubiquitous C. abortus ...

Neonatal Exposure to Estrogen and Estrogen Receptor Agonists and Antagonists: Effects on the Adult Endometrial Proteome and Morphoregulatory Gene Expression in the Neonatal Uterus

Harris, Bethany (2010-01-06)

Development of the porcine uterus begins prenatally but is completed postnatally. In mammals, the uterus provides an embryotrophic environment for conceptus development and integrates maternal and conceptus signals needed ...
