Journal Article
Wiles, S., Clare, S., Harker, J., Huett, A., Young, D., Dougan, G., & Frankel, G. (2004). Organ-specificity, colonization and clearance dynamics in vivo following oral challenges with the murine pathogen Citrobacter rodentium. Cellular Microbiology, 7(3), 459. https://doi.org/10.1111/j.1462-5822.2004.00479.x

In the article by Wiles et al. (2004) the wild-type Citrobacter rodentium (and naladixic acid-resistant derivative) strain used was not David Schauer's DBS100 (Schauer et al., 1993) but ICC168 which is a wild-type strain (formally Citrobacter freundi...

Journal of Immunology, 173(8), 5171-5179. https://doi.org/10.4049/jimmunol.173.8.5171

Infection of mice with the intestinal bacterial pathogen Citrobacter rodentium results in colonic mucosal hyperplasia and a local Th1 inflammatory response similar to that seen in mouse models of inflammatory bowel disease. Matrix metalloproteinases... Read More about Impaired immunity to intestinal bacterial infection in stromelysin-1 (matrix metalloproteinase-3)-deficient mice.

Activity profile of dust mite allergen extract using substrate libraries and functional proteomic microarrays (2004)
Journal Article
Harris, J., Mason, D. E., Li, J., Burdick, K. W., Backes, B. J., Chen, T., Shipway, A., Van Heeke, G., Gough, L., Ghaemmaghami, A., Shakib, F., Debaene, F., & Winssinger, N. (2004). Activity profile of dust mite allergen extract using substrate libraries and functional proteomic microarrays. Cell Chemical Biology, 11(10), 1361-1372. https://doi.org/10.1016/j.chembiol.2004.08.008

Enzymatic activity in the fecal droppings from the house dust mite has been postulated to contribute to the elicited allergic response. Screening dust mite extracts through 137,180 tetrapeptide fluorogenic substrates allowed for the characterization...

Mucosal vaccination against serogroup B meningococci: Induction of bactericidal antibodies and cellular immunity following intranasal immunization with NadA of Neisseria meningitidis and mutants of Escherichia coli heat-labile enterotoxin (2004)
Journal Article
Bowe, F., Lavelle, E. C., McNeela, E. A., Hale, C., Clare, S., Arico, B., Giuliani, M. M., Rae, A., Huett, A., Rappuoli, R., Dougan, G., & Mills, K. H. (2004). Mucosal vaccination against serogroup B meningococci: Induction of bactericidal antibodies and cellular immunity following intranasal immunization with NadA of Neisseria meningitidis and mutants of Escherichia coli heat-labile enterotoxin. Infection and Immunity, 72(7), 4052-4060. https://doi.org/10.1128/IAI.72.7.4052-4060.2004

Conjugated polysaccharide vaccines protect against serogroup C meningococci. However, this approach cannot be applied to serogroup B, which is still a major cause of meningitis. We evaluated the immunogenicity of three surface-exposed proteins from s...

Organ specificity, colonization and clearance dynamics in vivo following oral challenges with the murine pathogen Citrobacter rodentium (2004)
Journal Article
Wiles, S., Clare, S., Harker, J., Huett, A., Young, D., Dougan, G., & Frankel, G. (2004). Organ specificity, colonization and clearance dynamics in vivo following oral challenges with the murine pathogen Citrobacter rodentium. Cellular Microbiology, 6(10), 963-972. https://doi.org/10.1111/j.1462-5822.2004.00414.x

Citrobacter rodentium belongs to a family of human and animal enteric pathogens that includes the clinically significant enterohaemorrhagic Escherichia coli (EHEC) and enteropathogenic E. coli (EPEC). These pathogens use attaching and effacing (A/E)...

Molecular evidence links cryptic diversification in polar planktonic protists to Quaternary climate dynamics (2004)
Journal Article
Darling, K. F., Kucera, M., Pudsey, C. J., & Wade, C. M. (2004). Molecular evidence links cryptic diversification in polar planktonic protists to Quaternary climate dynamics. Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences, 101(20), 7657-7662. https://doi.org/10.1073/pnas.0402401101

It is unknown how pelagic marine protists undergo diversification and speciation. Superficially, the open ocean appears homogeneous, with few clear barriers to gene flow, allowing extensive, even global, dispersal. Yet, despite the apparent lack of o...

Does the abundance of hoverfly mimics (Syrphidae) depend on the numbers of their hymenopteran models ? (2004)
Journal Article
Howarth, B., Edmunds, M., & Gilbert, F. (2004). Does the abundance of hoverfly mimics (Syrphidae) depend on the numbers of their hymenopteran models ?. Evolution, 58(2), 367-375. https://doi.org/10.1111/j.0014-3820.2004.tb01652.x

We tested the prediction that, if hoverflies are Batesian mimics, this may extend to behavioral mimicry such that their numerical abundance at each hour of the day (the daily activity pattern) is related to the numbers of their hymenopteran models. A... Read More about Does the abundance of hoverfly mimics (Syrphidae) depend on the numbers of their hymenopteran models ?.

Density-dependent effects on the survival and growth of the rodent stomach worm Protospirura muricola in laboratory mice (2004)
Journal Article
Lowrie, F. M., Behnke, J. M., & Barnard, C. J. (2004). Density-dependent effects on the survival and growth of the rodent stomach worm Protospirura muricola in laboratory mice. Journal of Helminthology, 78(2), 121-128. https://doi.org/10.1079/JOH2003230

The spirurid nematode, Protospirura muricola, is of intrinsic interest as a rodent model of gastric nematode infections. Since worm burdens can be very heavy in nature, density dependent processes may constrain parasite growth. Laboratory mice (BKW)...
