Quantification of mRNA encoding cytokines and chemokines and assessment of ciliary function in canine tracheal epithelium during infection with canine respiratory coronavirus (CRCoV)
Journal Article
Priestnall, S. L., Mitchell, J. A., Brooks, H. W., Brownlie, J., & Erles, K. Quantification of mRNA encoding cytokines and chemokines and assessment of ciliary function in canine tracheal epithelium during infection with canine respiratory coronavirus (CRCoV). Veterinary Immunology and Immunopathology, 127(1-2), 38-46. https://doi.org/10.1016/j.vetimm.2008.09.017

One of the first lines of defence against viral infection is the innate immune response and the induction of antiviral type I interferons (IFNs). However some viruses, including the group 2 coronaviruses, have evolved mechanisms to overcome or circum...

Variation matters: TLR structure and species-specific pathogen recognition
Journal Article
Werling, D., Jann, O. C., Offord, V., Glass, E. J., & Coffey, T. J. Variation matters: TLR structure and species-specific pathogen recognition. Trends in Immunology, 30(3), 124-130. https://doi.org/10.1016/j.it.2008.12.001

Toll-like receptors (TLRs) are a family of pattern recognition receptors that are an important link between innate and adaptive immunity. Many vaccines incorporate ligands for TLRs as an adjuvant and are developed in rodent models, with the resulting...

Hazards with cracked eggs and their relationship to egg shell strength
Journal Article
Widdicombe, J. P., Rycroft, A. N., & Gregory, N. G. Hazards with cracked eggs and their relationship to egg shell strength. Journal of the Science of Food and Agriculture, 89(2), 201-205. https://doi.org/10.1002/jsfa.3425

BACKGROUND: This study examined the relationship between egg shell strength and the prevalence of cracked shells, plus the relationship between egg shell cracks and the presence of bacteria in the albumen of retail eggs. A total of 500 eggs was sampl... Read More about Hazards with cracked eggs and their relationship to egg shell strength.
