Ontogeny of factors associated with proliferation and differentiation of muscle in the ovine fetus (2005)
Journal Article

The number of muscle fibers within a muscle has been found to be of high importance for the growth potential of an animal, and this number is set during fetal development. The objective of this study was to identify the ontogeny of muscle cell differ... Read More about Ontogeny of factors associated with proliferation and differentiation of muscle in the ovine fetus.

Queering religious texts: An exploration of British non-heterosexual Christians’ and Muslims’ strategy of constructing sexuality-affirming hermeneutics. (2005)
Journal Article

Religious authority figures often use religious texts as the primary basis for censuring homosexuality. In recent years, however, non-heterosexual Christians and Muslims have begun to contest the discursively produced boundary of sexual morality.Draw...

A coupled calibration and modelling approach to the understanding of dry-land lake oxygen isotope records (2005)
Journal Article

Comparisons between climate proxies and instrumental records through the last two centuries are often used to understand better the controls on palaeoarchives and to find relationships that can be used to quantify changes in pre-instrumental climate....

Digalactoside expression in the lipopolysaccharide of haemophilus influenzae and its role in intravascular survival (2005)
Journal Article
Griffin, R., Bayliss, C. D., Herbert, M. A., Cox, A. D., Makepeace, K., Richards, J., Hood, D. W., & Moxon, E. R. (2005). Digalactoside expression in the lipopolysaccharide of haemophilus influenzae and its role in intravascular survival. Infection and Immunity, 73(10), https://doi.org/10.1128/IAI.73.10.7022-7026.2005

Digalactoside (gal-1-4 gal) structures of the lipopolysaccharide (LPS) of Haemophilus influenzae are implicated in virulence. A confounding factor is that tetranucleotide repeats within the lic2A, lgtC, and lex2 genes mediate phase-variable expressio...

Superior T cell activation by ESAT-6 as compared with the ESAT-6-CFP-10 complex (2005)
Journal Article

Using intracellular cytokine staining we show herein that T cells will respond to short-term (6 h) activation with phorbol ester plus ionomycin by production of tumor necrosis factor (TNF), IFN-γ or both. Here CD4 T cells preferentially produce TNF a... Read More about Superior T cell activation by ESAT-6 as compared with the ESAT-6-CFP-10 complex.

Antigenicity of chimeric and cyclic synthetic peptides based on nonstructural proteins of GBV-C/HGV (2005)
Journal Article

In this work, new putative epitopes located in nonstructural proteins of GBV-C/HGV were synthesized using solid-phase chemistry for their use in immunoassays. The antigens were obtained in linear, chimeric and cyclic forms with the main aim of improv...

Analysis of the binding of hepatitis C virus genotype 1a and 1b E2 glycoproteins to peripheral blood mononuclear cell subsets (2005)
Journal Article

Hepatitis C virus (HCV) binding to hepatocytes is thought to be mediated via interaction of the E2 glycoprotein with (co-)receptors including CD81 and scavenger receptor class B type I (SR-BI). Here, the expression of CD81 and SR-BI was analysed on p...

Monoclonal antibody AP33 defines a broadly neutralizing epitope on the hepatitis C virus E2 envelope glycoprotein (2005)
Journal Article

Hepatitis C virus (HCV) remains a significant threat to the general health of the world's population, and there is a pressing need for the development of new treatments and preventative vaccines. Here, we describe the generation of retrovirus-based p... Read More about Monoclonal antibody AP33 defines a broadly neutralizing epitope on the hepatitis C virus E2 envelope glycoprotein.

Suitability testing of selected wastes and natural substrates for permeable reactive barriers (PRBs) (2005)
Journal Article

Performance of barrier materials is important for the long-term success of permeable reactive barriers (PRBs). A number of selected wastes and natural materials were tested in batch experiments for their ability to remove heavy metals from synthetic...

Quantification of the effects of pore clogging in potential PRB substrates using image analysis (2005)
Journal Article

Permeable reactive barriers (PRBs) have demonstrated a promising approach for groundwater remediation. However, one concern is the deterioration of barrier material performance due to mineral precipitation and pore clogging. This study sought to quan...

Vascular endothelial growth factor induction by prostaglandin E2 in human airway smooth muscle cells is mediated by E prostanoid EP 2/EP4 receptors and SP-1 transcription factor binding sites (2005)
Journal Article

Prostaglandin E2 (PGE2) can increase vascular endothelial growth factor A (VEGF-A) production but the mechanisms involved are unclear. Here we characterized the transcriptional mechanisms involved in human airway smooth muscle cells (HASMC). PGE2 inc...

Neuromedin U has a physiological role in the regulation of food intake and partially mediates the effects of leptin (2005)
Journal Article

Intracerebroventricular (ICV) administration of Neuromedin U (NMU), a hypothalamic neuropeptide, or leptin, an adipostat hormone released from adipose tissue, reduces food intake and increases energy expenditure. Leptin stimulates the release of NMU... Read More about Neuromedin U has a physiological role in the regulation of food intake and partially mediates the effects of leptin.

Journal Article

Nociceptin or orphanin FQ (N/OFQ) and its receptor NOP1 are expressed in hypothalamic nuclei involved in energy homeostasis. N/OFQ administered by intracerebroventricular or arcuate nucleus (ARC) injection increases food intake in satiated rats. The...
