Evaluation of paramagnetic particles for use in a resonant coil magnetometer based magneto-immunoassay (2009)
Journal Article
Eveness, J., Kiely, J., Hawkins, P., Wraith, P., & Luxton, R. (2009). Evaluation of paramagnetic particles for use in a resonant coil magnetometer based magneto-immunoassay. Sensors and Actuators B: Chemical, 139(2), 538-542. https://doi.org/10.1016/j.snb.2009.03.078

This paper describes work that formed a part of an investigation to increase the detection sensitivity of a magneto-immunoassay. The study involved the characterisation of paramagnetic particles (PMPs) from a range of manufacturers in order to determ...

Use of bioluminescent bacterial biosensors to investigate the role of free-living helminths as reservoirs and vectors of Salmonella (2009)
Journal Article
Lacharme-Lora, L., Perkins, S. E., Humphrey, T. J., Hudson, P. J., & Salisbury, V. (2009). Use of bioluminescent bacterial biosensors to investigate the role of free-living helminths as reservoirs and vectors of Salmonella. Environmental Microbiology Reports, 1(3), 198-207. https://doi.org/10.1111/j.1758-2229.2009.00031.x

Free-living microbivorous helminths that consume pathogenic bacteria could offer an environmental refuge for those pathogens and also, in the case of accidental ingestion, could transmit food-borne pathogens to humans and livestock. We tested this hy... Read More about Use of bioluminescent bacterial biosensors to investigate the role of free-living helminths as reservoirs and vectors of Salmonella.

A differential constraint approach to obtain global stability for radiation-induced double-diffusive convection in a porous medium (2009)
Journal Article
Hill, A. A. (2009). A differential constraint approach to obtain global stability for radiation-induced double-diffusive convection in a porous medium. Mathematical Methods in the Applied Sciences, 32(8), 914-921. https://doi.org/10.1002/mma.1073

The stability of double-diffusive porous convection with a concentration-based internal heat source is studied. Owing to the significant sensitivity of standard energy method, a highly desirable reduction in the number of required coupling parameters...

Fungal elicitor Pep-25 increases cytosolic calcium ions, H 2O2 production and activates the octadecanoid pathway in Arabidopsis thaliana (2009)
Journal Article
Hu, X., Neill, S., Yang, Y., & Cai, W. (2009). Fungal elicitor Pep-25 increases cytosolic calcium ions, H 2O2 production and activates the octadecanoid pathway in Arabidopsis thaliana. Planta, 229(6), 1201-1208. https://doi.org/10.1007/s00425-009-0909-3

Transgenic Arabidopsis thaliana plants expressing the protein aequorin were used to investigate the transient change in cytosolic calcium ions caused by stimulation through the fungal elicitor Pep-25. Our results show that the elicitor Pep-25 derived...

Nociceptin-induced modulation of human T cell function (2009)
Journal Article
Easten, K. H., Harry, R. A., Purcell, W. M., & McLeod, J. D. (2009). Nociceptin-induced modulation of human T cell function. Peptides, 30(5), 926-934. https://doi.org/10.1016/j.peptides.2009.01.021

There is an accumulating evidence for the immunoregulatory role of the neuropeptide, nociceptin/orphanin FQ (N/OFQ) however its role on T cell function requires elucidation. This study has demonstrated an inhibitory role for N/OFQ on SEB-activated T... Read More about Nociceptin-induced modulation of human T cell function.

RAP55: Insights into an evolutionarily conserved protein family (2009)
Journal Article
Marnef, A., Sommerville, J., & Ladomery, M. (2009). RAP55: Insights into an evolutionarily conserved protein family. International Journal of Biochemistry and Cell Biology, 41(5), 977-981. https://doi.org/10.1016/j.biocel.2008.06.015

The RAP55 protein family is evolutionarily conserved in eukaryotes. Two highly conserved paralogues, RAP55A and RAP55B, exist in vertebrates; their functional properties and expression patterns remain to be compared. RAP55 proteins share multiple dom...
