Is Tb Testing Associated With Increased Blood Interferon-Gamma Levels?, Aideen E. Kennedy, Jim O'Mahony, Noel Byrne, John Macsharry, Riona G. Sayers

Department of Biological Sciences Publications

The Republic of Ireland reports a relatively low prevalence of Johne’s disease (JD) compared to international counterparts. Postulated reasons for this include a lower average herd size and a grass-based production system. Ireland also engages in high levels of bovine tuberculosis (bTB) testing. As interferon-gamma (IFN-γ) is believed to play a key role in protecting against JD, it is our hypothesis that administration of purified protein derivative (PPD), as part of the bTB test, is associated with a systemic increase in IFN-γ production, which may potentially limit clinical progression of the disease. We studied 265 cows (202 Friesian and 63 …

Identifying The Inflammatory Pathways Of Genes Upregulated In Ladmac Cells Exposed To Bcm7, Oumlissa Persaud, Mary Kusenda

Biology & Chemistry Undergraduate Theses

Casein is the main protein present in milk and other dairy products. Beta-casein is one of the 3 major proteins in milk. Beta-casomorphin-9 (BCM9) was the original beta-casein protein found in milk, specifically cow's milk. However, a genetic mutation occurred and the 67th amino acid in the BCM9, proline, mutated to histidine (P67H) creating Beta-casamorphin-7 (BCM7). The protein BCM7 gets cleaved in the small intestine, making it readily absorbed in the body. In previous unpublished studies they found that murine leukocytes (LADMAC cells) showed an increase in inflammation when exposed to BCM7, as compared to BCM9. Therefore, the goal of …
