Phadke, Anagha (Texas A&M University, 2007-09-17)In the present studies, the essential role of inducer cells for the induction of soluble anti-viral activity against feline immunodeficiency virus (FIV) was investigated. Induction of suppression of FIV replication was ...
-
Parr, Rebecca Lynne (Texas A&M University. Libraries, 1992)Eleven monoclonal antibodies (MAb) were produced to the Gray stain of IBV. Six MAbs neutralized for the Gray strain, and three of these MAbs were IgGl[ak], conformation-dependent and serotype specific. The other three ...

Inman, Amy Rebecca (1995)Retroviral vectors are being used as vehicles for transporting foreign genes into mammalian cells for the purpose of human gene therapy to treat viral disease like human immunodeficiency virus (HIV). In efforts to develop ...
-
Lim, Wah-Seng (Texas A&M University, 2004-11-15)Equine infectious anemia virus (EIAV) causes rapid development of acute disease followed by recurring episodes of fever, thrombocytopenia and viremia, termed chronic EIA. Most infected horses control the virus by immune ...
-
Mi, Wentao (Texas A&M University, 2006-10-30)Stressful life events have been associated with the onset and/or exacerbation of multiple sclerosis (MS). To investigate the effects of stress on the pathogenesis of MS, we employed restraint stress (RST) in the TheilerâÂÂs ...

Pixley, Charles Eugene (Texas A&M University. Libraries, 1987)An indirect Enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay (ELISA) was developed to screen dog serum for antirabies antibodies after vaccination and after exposure to a live rabies street virus. All ELISA results were compared to Rapid ...
-
Chinnah, Anthony (Texas A&M University. Libraries, 1990)This study examined the antiviral, adjuvant and immunomodulatory effects of acemannan (ACE-M), a long-chain polydispersed β-(1,4)-linked mannose polymer. Antiviral effects were determined in vitro. Newcastle disease virus ...
-
Extensive investigation of reticuloendotheliosis virus in the endangered Attwater's prairie chicken Bohls, Ryan Lanier (Texas A&M University, 2007-09-17)Reticuloendotheliosis virus (REV) is a retrovirus that causes a neoplastic disease in a wide range of avian hosts including chickens, turkeys, and ducks. In 1993, REV was detected in the endangered Attwater's prairie ...

Singh, Shailbala (2011-02-22)Although wild birds are natural hosts of avian influenza viruses (AIVs), these viruses can be highly contagious to poultry and a zoonotic threat to humans. The propensity of AIV for genetic variation through genetic shift ...
-
Youn, Soonjeon (Texas A&M University, 2005-02-17)An infectious cDNA clone of Vero cell adapted Beaudette strain of IBV was constructed using in vitro assembly of cDNA fragments. The entire genome of IBV was RT-PCR amplified into seven fragments, with each piece overlapping ...
-
Storey, Stephen Michael (2009-05-15)Rotavirus (RV) nonstructural protein 4 (NSP4) is a multifunctional glycoprotein that induces secretory diarrhea in mouse pups in the absence of other viral proteins. The intracellular transport route(s) and functional ...

Debeb, Bisrat Godefay (2009-05-15)The extraembryonic endoderm (XEN) defines the yolk sac, a set of membranes that provide essential support for mammalian embryos. Recently, the committed XENprecursor was identified in the embryonic Inner Cell Mass (ICM) ...
-
Wang, Li (Texas A&M University. Libraries, 1993)Although SI genes of several Mass and European isolates have been sequenced, this is the first report of the entire SI sequence from recent strains of U.S. originated IBV and of RNA recombination occurring in a naturally ...
