Abstract:
This thesis describes the immunization protocols for the production of antibodies against tetanus toxin and toxoid in guinea pigs and mice. Antibodies were successfully raised against the toxin without mortalities in either species. The murine sera obtained, were isotyped by ELISA and the toxin was proven to be a superior antigen in eliciting production of IgG$\rm\sb{2a}$ and IgG$\sb3$. The two isotypes which have demonstrated antitumor activity. The anti-toxoid sera exhibited a lower reactivity towards the toxin and toxoid when compared with anti-toxin sera.

Abstract:
This study examines the possible mechanisms by which radiation and the bacterial toxin, Tetanus toxoid (TT), suppress the murine splenic mononuclear cell (SMNC) response to mitogen. This study demonstrates that the lymphocyte proliferation response of SMNC to the mitogenic lectin PHA can be suppressed by TT in a dose-dependant manner in vitro, without affecting the viability of the cells, in the anti-proliferative concentrations used (0.5-5 $\mu$g/ml).

Abstract:
Previous studies have shown that certain antigens can down-regulate immune responses of human peripheral blood mononuclear cells (PBMC) both in vivo and in vitro.

This thesis asks how toxins can re-imagined to become active agents in design. Through the negotiation between hard and soft boundaries this work speculates on an architecture of gradients, densities, and velocities to pr

Abstract:
Cadmium is a heavy metal which has been associated with a number of pathological diseases. However, despite the known toxicity of this metal, there is inconclusive evidence about its mechanism(s) of action in the cells. The present study was therefore undertaken with the aim of defining the role of oxidative stress, intracellular Ca²⁺ alteration via phospholipase C- Inositol-1,4,5-triphosphate (PLC-IP3) and mitochondrial-cytochrome c dependent pathways in the etiology of cadmium-induced toxicity in three human cell lines: HepG2 (human hepatoma), 1321N1 (human astrocytoma) and HEK 293 (human em

Abstract:
Online gaming is the entertainment of the masses nowadays as it entertains hundreds of millions of players around the world on daily basis. Along with the popularity of online gaming, phenomenon of toxic behavior has also taken root in those games. Toxic behavior is strongly present in current day online games and very few people are spared from it nowadays. The purpose of this study was to take a closer look into the toxic behavior and how it affects those who actively play online games. This study started by conducting literature review to identify the various different aspects that surroun

Abstract:
It was discovered in our laboratory that the bimetallic system palladium on iron (palladized-iron, Pd/Fe) rapidly and completely hydrodechlorinates aqueous solutions of ubiquitous chlorinated aliphatic and aromatic environmental contaminants such as TCE (trichloroethylene), chlorophenols and PCBs (polychlorobiphenyls) at room temperature and atmospheric pressure. When TCE comes in contact with the Pd/Fe surface, it forms ethane as the major gaseous product. Chlorophenols are converted to phenol and PCBs are converted to biphenyl. It was also discovered that through a series of redox reactions

Abstract:
Isoniazid (INH), one of the most effective agents in the treatment and prophylaxis of tuberculosis associated with a mild increase in liver transaminases in up to 20% of treated patients and severe hepatotoxicity in up to 2% of treated patients. Since the 1970's, a number of studies have been reported on the mechanism of INH-induced hepatotoxicity. The original studies in rats suggested that the hepatotoxic effect of INH was due to the microsomal metabolism of acetylhydrazine (AcHz, a metabolite of INH) to a reactive intermediate. More recently other workers have been unable to reproduce the

Abstract:
Staphylococcus aureus is a gram positive bacterium asymptomatically colonizing 30-40% of the human population. S. aureus causes a variety of infections including superficial skin lesions, toxic shock syndrome, and infective endocarditis (IE). There are 100,000 cases of IE each year in the United States. IE is a life threatening infection of native/prosthetic valves and the lining of the heart. It is characterized by the formation of vegetations, “cauliflower-like” structures composed of bacteria and host factors. S. aureus is the most commonly identified pathogen (up to 40%) in patients with I

Abstract:
Botulinum toxin (BTX) is used in various fields of medicine, including the treatment of hyperhidrosis and cervical dystonia. Botox®, Dysport®, Xeomin® and NeuroBloc® are commercially available BTX products, which are formulated differently and their dosing units are unique. Dosage and concentration of the prepared solution for injection varies considerably among studies comparing the products. Improved guidelines on concentration and dosing when changing from one product to another are warranted. This would ensure the use of the lowest effective doses for good effect, minimal risk of antibody
