B cell receptor accessory molecule CD79α: Characterisation and expression analysis in a cartilaginous fish, the spiny dogfish (Squalus acanthias)
(Elsevier, 2013)CD79α (also known as Igα) is a component of the B cell antigen receptor complex and plays an important role in B cell signalling. The CD79α protein is present on the surface of B cells throughout their life cycle, and is ... -
Characterisation and expression analysis of B-cell activating factor (BAFF) in spiny dogfish (Squalus acanthias): Cartilaginous fish BAFF has a unique extra exon that may impact receptor binding
(Elsevier, 2011)B-cell activating factor (BAFF), also known as tumour necrosis factor (TNF) ligand superfamily member 13B, is an important immune regulator with critical roles in B-cell survival, proliferation, differentiation and ... -
Characterisation of the TNF superfamily members CD40L and BAFF in the small-spotted catshark (Scyliorhinus canicula)
(2015-11)The tumour necrosis factor superfamily (TNFSF) members CD40L and BAFF play critical roles in mammalian B cell survival, proliferation and maturation, however little is known about these key cytokines in the oldest jawed ... -
Cloning of the IL-1β3 gene and IL-1β4 pseudogene in salmonids uncovers a second type of IL-1β gene in teleost fish
(Elsevier, 2012)To date two closely related interleukin-1β genes (IL-1β1 and IL-β2) have been found in salmonids. The cloning of trout and salmon IL-1β3., and a salmon IL-1β4 pseudogene reveals that two types of IL-1β genes exist in teleost ... -

Investigating molecular approaches for detection of pathogens in horses
(The University of Waikato, 2018)Infectious disease of equines has significant impacts on the New Zealand equine industry, causing avoidable morbidity and mortality. The correct identification of the aetiological agents involved in such infections allows ... -
Sleeping to Perform: Examining Sleep and Exercise in Elite Female Athletes
(The University of Waikato, 2018)Sleep plays an essential role in biological functions, and is fundamental for human health and wellbeing. Sleep is also widely recognised as playing an important role in the sporting environment, with an increasing awareness ... -
Antimicrobial Peptides in Jawed and Jawless Vertebrates
(University of Waikato, 2016)Antimicrobial peptides (AMPs) are a major part of the innate immune defence system which shows a broad spectrum of activity, defending the host against invading microbes. The aim of this work was to identify the AMPs present ... -
Molecular Characterisation of Immune Genes in Yellowtail Kingfish (Seriola lalandi)
(University of Waikato, 2015)The effective and efficient introduction of a new candidate species for aquaculture depends greatly on the understanding of the physiology of the organism and the ability to monitor a candidates’ response to changes in ... -
Oxytocin as an appetite suppressant that reduces feeding reward
(University of Waikato, 2016)In the environment in which palatable and highly caloric foods are readily available, eating behavior is oftentimes not dictated by the necessity to replenish lacking energy, but rather by the pleasure of consumption. ...
