    A Study of T Cell Receptor Usage in Allergic Asthma and Analysis of a Humanised T Cell Receptor Transgenic Model of Immunity to Allergen A thesis submitted for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy by Tracey Elizabeth Pollard at Imperial College, London Lung Immunology Group, National Heart and Lung Institute, Faculty of Medicine, Sir Alexander Fleming Building, South Kensington campus, Imperial College, London SW7 2AZ Supervisors: Dr Rosemary J. Boyton Prof. Daniel M. Altmann June 2009 Abstract It has been previously shown that the length of complementarity-determining region 3 (CDR3) loops of a T-cell receptor (TCR) may determine T-cell phenotype, with elongated CDR3s being favoured in T helper-type 2 (Th2) cells. Here, in a human system of Th2-mediated allergic asthma, TCR CDR3 usage has been studied in T-cell lines derived from Human Leukocyte Antigen (HLA)-DR1-positive, cat-allergic asthmatic subjects, and generated against peptide 4, a T-cell epitope of the major cat allergen Fel d 1. Populations of T-cells expanded that expressed particular TCRs carrying elongated CDR3a or p loops. A system was developed to transduce the immortalised TCR-negative murine thymoma line BW7 with the human TCR genes identified here and also murine Thl and Th2 associated TCR genes identified from previous work in our laboratory to allow further study of the influence of TCR structure on T-cell phenotype. A TCR/MHC class II transgenic model of allergic asthma has been developed by others in our laboratory. As part of the initial characterisation of this model, to establish if the TCR was expressed, the impact of the presence of the TCR transgenes on thymic selection and the expression of costimulatory molecules was studied.

  • Natural Killer Cell Subsets and Multiple Sclerosis
    Natural Killer Cell Subsets and Multiple Sclerosis Alison Jane Harris Imperial College London Department of Medicine Thesis submitted for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy 1 Declaration of Originality I hereby declare that the work presented here is my own and that all references to the work of others are accompanied by appropriate citations. 2 ABSTRACT This thesis addresses the hypothesis that multiple sclerosis (MS) patients have an imbalance in the frequencies of natural killer cell subsets, with fewer immunoregulatory and more proinflammatory NK cells compared to healthy controls. Ten NK cell subsets were defined according to expression of CD56, CD8, CD27 and CD57. Subset frequencies were compared by performing multiparameter flow cytometry on PBMCs from healthy controls and patients with clinically isolated syndrome (CIS) or relapsing-remitting MS. CD56dim CD8+ CD57+ CD27- NK cells had a higher frequency in untreated relapsing-remitting MS patients compared to healthy controls and their frequency was decreased in patients on interferon-β treatment. CD56bright NK cells, particularly the CD8- CD27- subset, had a significantly lower frequency in untreated MS and CIS patients. CD8- CD57- CD27- subsets of both CD56dim and CD56bright NK cells were expanded in interferon-β-treated patients in remission but not relapse. Characteristics of two CD56dim subsets displaying an apparent reciprocal relationship (CD8+ CD57+ CD27- and CD8- CD57- CD27-) were compared by qRT-PCR, flow cytometry and killing assays. CD56dim CD8+ CD57+ CD27- NK cells were more cytotoxic and expressed higher levels of transcripts encoding IFNγ, T-bet and other factors associated with IFNγ signalling. This is consistent with the hypothesis that there is a shift towards a more pro-inflammatory NK cell phenotype in MS patients, which is reversed by interferon-β treatment.

Strategic Audit: Deloitte An Undergraduate Honors Thesis Submitted in Partial fulfillment of University Honors Program Requirements University of Nebraska-Lincoln by Yibing Shen, Accounting College of Business Administration Apr 24, 2018 Faculty Mentors: Samuel Nelson, PhD, Management Abstract The project’s goal is to analyze the current situation and problems faced by Deloitte, and give out recommendation, implementation plan, and contingency plan for Deloitte. The methods to do the project is to research online to get adequate information and make assumptions for the information I cannot gather. The results are: I find out that Deloitte is competitive as one of the big four accounting firms, but it is facing the problem of brand dilution and reputational contagion due to its fast expansion and acquisition; the partner firms are not linked or connected as they expected to be. So the recommendation would be better training the employees, and slowing down the steps of acquisition.

    © 2017 Irina Spector-Marks CIRCUITS OF IMPERIAL CITIZENSHIP: INDIAN PRINT CULTURE AND THE POLITICS OF RACE, 1890-1914 BY IRINA SPECTOR-MARKS DISSERTATION Submitted in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy in History in the Graduate College of the University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign, 2017 Urbana, Illinois Doctoral Committee: Professor Antoinette Burton, Chair Associate Professor Teresa Barnes Associate Professor James Brennan Professor Isabel Hofmeyr, University of Witswatersand Associate Professor Dana Rabin Abstract At the turn of the twentieth century, Indian immigrants throughout the British empire faced a rise in discriminatory legislation. They responded by asserting that as imperial citizens, Indians should be treated equally with white British subjects. Although imperial citizenship had no fixed legal meaning, Indian activists invoked imperial citizenship as a legal status and as an identity that carried racial and civilizational overtones. Through a close reading of iterations of imperial citizenship across a wide range of print culture sources, I show how imperial citizenship, although ostensibly race-blind, was an implicitly racialized discourse. Based on research from archives in Ottawa, Vancouver, Durban, Pietermaritzburg, Pretoria, and London, I map how the discourse of imperial citizenship circulated across the empire in a transnational print sphere of periodicals, pamphlets, and petitions. By focusing on the work of activists in Canada and South Africa, I explore the ways in which local political and racial contexts precluded the potential for material forms of transnational collaboration. My dissertation nuances the “transnational turn” in the humanities by emphasizing the role of local factors in shaping larger global politics.
