The Influence Of Trichinella Spiralis Infection On Heat Shock Protein 72 Production In Mrl++ Mouse Intestinal Cells, Lisa Ann Kilejian
Dissertations and Theses
The production of Heat Shock Protein 72, the inducible for~ of the highly conserved 70 kilodalton heat shock protein family, was investigated in MRL++ mouse intestine during the two weeks of a Trichinella spiralis infection. Within hours of an oral infection using the encysted Trichinella spiralis found in the diaphragm of an infected mouse, the larvae are released from the cyst in the stomach. They travel to the intestine and burrow into the epithelial layer of the intestine. The jejunum is the primary site of the intestinal phase of trichinosis (Despommier 1983). This stage of infection in the jejunum was …
A Limnological Analysis Of Ten Mountain Lakes, Gary Wayne Burns
A Limnological Analysis Of Ten Mountain Lakes, Gary Wayne Burns
Dissertations and Theses
Ten mountain lakes were analyzed in order that they be assigned a trophic status. The lakes which are located in the Mount Hood National Forest of Oregon are Anvil, Beaver Pond, Cripple Creek, Fish, Gifford, Monon, Ollalie, Rimrock, Round, and Sportsman. The purpose of this report is to determine the productivity of these waters. Data were collected for analyses of temperature, dissolved oxygen concentration, Secchi depth, major ion concentration, light intensity versus depth, alkalinity, phytoplanktcn species composition/total density, and zooplankton species composition/total density. Samples were collected in Van Darn sampling bottles and returned to the laboratory for chemical analyses and …
