Abstract:
Attitudes of guilt, deserved punishment, and character of terrorists and mass murderers are examined in a hypothetical written scenario of a murder involving several casualties. The researcher hypothesizes that terrorists will be given harsher punishments. It is also hypothesized that White suspects will receive the least harsh punishments compared to the other suspects. The researcher also hypothesized that terrorists would be found guiltier than mass murderers. Results found that there were no significant differences in the punishments given to terrorists and mass murderers or between the ra

Abstract:
Natural killer (NK) cells possess the ability to destroy abnormal cells such as cancerous and virally-infected cells. A common feature of these cells is the downregulation of class I MHC molecules in an attempt to evade recognition by CD8+ T lymphocytes. "Missing-self" recognition allows NK cells to identify and destroy cells with decreased MHC-I expression. MHC-I receptors are expressed by NK cells, therefore allowing "missing-self" recognition. The major MHC-I receptors on human NK cells are KIR while mouse NK cells express Ly49 receptors. In addition to the recognition of MHC-I on target ce

Abstract:
K. lactis killer strains carry two cytoplasmic, linear dsDNA plasmids, termed k1 and k2. DNA sequence analysis has revealed the presence of 14 plasmid-encoded ORFs. All genes are transcribed independently and all are preceded by putative promoter elements, the UCS motifs. Plasmid genes are generally not expressed when cloned with their own promoters into yeast nuclear vectors; similarly, cytoplasmic expression of genes carrying nuclear promoters does not occur when they are placed on k1 or k2. To overcome this compartmental incompatibility I have constructed suitable UCS-marker gene fusions fo

The critical role of immune cells, in particular NK cells and cytotoxic T lymphocytes in recognition and elimination of tumour cells has been clearly demonstrated. However, immune evasion is a central hallmark of cancer; it negatively influences the prognosis and efficiency of therapies. Thus, understanding of this process will help to improve cancer therapy. Genetic alterations such as activation of oncogenes and loss of tumour suppressor genes are highly implicated in carcinogenesis.

Clinical application of natural killer (NK) cells against leukemia is an area of intense investigation. In human leukocyte antigen-mismatched allogeneic hematopoietic stem cell transplantations (HSCT), alloreactive NK cells exert powerful anti-leukemic activity in preventing relapse in the absence of graft-versus-host disease, particularly in acute myeloid leukemia patients. Adoptive transfer of donor NK cells post-HSCT or in non-transplant scenarios may be superior to the currently widely used unmanipulated donor lymphocyte infusion.
