LILRA3 gene deletion has been associated with multiple sclerosis (MS) susceptibility, but results are not consistent among different study populations. In our study, we found no link between LILRA3 gene deletion and MS susceptibility in a North American cohort. Instead, serum LILRA3 level was significantly increased in patients with MS and strongly associated with disease severity, suggesting that LILRA3 protein may play a role in disease progression. Indeed, we showed that elevated serum LILRA3 had a positive correlation with better clinical outcomes and anti-inflammatory cytokine IL-10, suggesting an anti-inflammatory role of LILRA3 in MS. Importantly, this study also suggested a potential use for measuring serum LILRA3 levels as a biomarker for disease severity in MS. The functions of LILRA3 in MS remain unknown due to the limited knowledge of its ligands. This thesis showed that Nogo 66, a potent neurite outgrowth inhibitor, is a new functional ligand for LILRA3. We showed that the high affinity binding of LILRA3 with Nogo 66 blocked Nogo 66-mediated inhibition of neurite outgrowth and promoted synapse formation in primary cortical neurons. In addition, LILRA3 is able to block Nogo 66-mediated suppression of MAPK signalling in primary cortical neurons. All these results suggested that LILRA3 acts as a broad antagonist to block the interactions between Nogo 66 and its neuronal receptors and their subsequent inhibitory effects and thus promote neuroregeneration. Despite the novel anti-inflammatory and neuroregenerative roles of LILRA3 in MS, little is known about the quaternary structure of LILRA3, which may be crucial for its ligand binding and functions. Preliminary results in this thesis showed that intracellular LILRA3 exists in multiple quaternary forms but is primarily secreted as monomeric protein and surprisingly is abundantly present in the nucleus of primary monocytes. Various quaternary structures of LILRA3 may contribute to its diverse biological functions. Importantly, this thesis unitised a new approach to study the quaternary structure of LILRA3 spatiotemporally at a single cell level.

  • Necessary Fictions”: Authorship and Transethnic Identity in Contemporary American Narratives
    MILNE, LEAH A., PhD. “Necessary Fictions”: Authorship and Transethnic Identity in Contemporary American Narratives. (2015) Directed by Dr. Christian Moraru. 352 pp. As a theory and political movement of the late 20th century, multiculturalism has emphasized recognition, tolerance, and the peaceful coexistence of cultures, while providing the groundwork for social justice and the expansion of the American literary canon. However, its sometimes uncomplicated celebrations of diversity and its focus on static, discrete ethnic identities have been seen by many as restrictive. As my project argues, contemporary ethnic American novelists are pushing against these restrictions by promoting what I call transethnicity, the process by which one formulates a dynamic conception of ethnicity that cuts across different categories of identity. Through the use of self-conscious or metafictional narratives, authors such as Louise Erdrich, Junot Díaz, and Percival Everett mobilize metafiction to expand definitions of ethnicity and to acknowledge those who have been left out of the multicultural picture. I further argue that, while metafiction is often considered the realm of white male novelists, ethnic American authors have galvanized self-conscious fiction—particularly stories depicting characters in the act of writing—to defy multiculturalism’s embrace of coherent, reducible ethnic groups who are best represented by their most exceptional members and by writing that is itself correct and “authentic.” Instead, under the transethnic model, ethnicity is self-conflicted, forged through ongoing revision and contestation and in ever- fluid responses to political, economic, and social changes. “NECESSARY FICTIONS”: AUTHORSHIP AND TRANSETHNIC IDENTITY IN CONTEMPORARY AMERICAN NARRATIVES by Leah A.

    Anti-LYN monoclonal antibody, clone 2285DU33.4.2.2 (DCABY-1218) This product is for research use only and is not intended for diagnostic use. PRODUCT INFORMATION Antigen Description Non-receptor tyrosine-protein kinase that transmits signals from cell surface receptors and plays an important role in the regulation of innate and adaptive immune responses, hematopoiesis, responses to growth factors and cytokines, integrin signaling, but also responses to DNA damage and genotoxic agents. Functions primarily as negative regulator, but can also function as activator, depending on the context. Required for the initiation of the B-cell response, but also for its down- regulation and termination. Plays an important role in the regulation of B-cell differentiation, proliferation, survival and apoptosis, and is important for immune self-tolerance. Acts downstream of several immune receptors, including the B-cell receptor, CD79A, CD79B, CD5, CD19, CD22, FCER1, FCGR2, FCGR1A, TLR2 and TLR4. Plays a role in the inflammatory response to bacterial lipopolysaccharide. Mediates the responses to cytokines and growth factors in hematopoietic progenitors, platelets, erythrocytes, and in mature myeloid cells, such as dendritic cells, neutrophils and eosinophils. Acts downstream of EPOR, KIT, MPL, the chemokine receptor CXCR4, as well as the receptors for IL3, IL5 and CSF2. Plays an important role in integrin signaling. Regulates cell proliferation, survival, differentiation, migration, adhesion, degranulation, and cytokine release. Down- regulates signaling pathways by phosphorylation of immunoreceptor tyrosine-based inhibitory motifs (ITIM), that then serve as binding sites for phosphatases, such as PTPN6/SHP-1, PTPN11/SHP-2 and INPP5D/SHIP-1, that modulate signaling by dephosphorylation of kinases and their substrates.

To assess the molecular alterations associated with these breast cancer subtypes, we conducted a whole-genome study of 166 archival estrogen receptor (ER)-positive tumors (89 IDC and 77 ILC) using the Affy- metrix GeneChip® Mapping 10K Array to identify sites of loss of heterozygosity (LOH) that either distinguished, or were shared by, the two phenotypes. We found single nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs) of high-frequency LOH (>50%) common to both ILC and IDC tumors predominately in 11q, 16q, and 17p. Overall, IDC had a slightly higher frequency of LOH events across the genome than ILC (fractional allelic loss 5 0.186 and 0.156). By comparing the average frequency of LOH by chro- mosomal arm, we found IDC tumors with significantly (P < 0.05) higher frequency of LOH on 3p, 5q, 8p, 9p, 20p, and 20q than ILC tumors.

  • The Role of Fc Gamma Receptors in the Activity of Therapeutic Monoclonal Antibodies
    UNIVERSITY OF SOUTHAMPTON FACULTY OF MEDICINE Cancer Sciences Unit Volume 1 of 1 The Role of Fc Gamma Receptors in the Activity of Therapeutic Monoclonal Antibodies by Robert James Oldham Thesis for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy September 2016 UNIVERSITY OF SOUTHAMPTON ABSTRACT FACULTY OF MEDICINE Biomedicine Thesis for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy THE ROLE OF FC GAMMA RECEPTORS IN THE ACTIVITY OF THERAPEUTIC MONOCLONAL ANTIBODIES Robert James Oldham Fc gamma receptors (FcγRs) are the major family of receptors responsible for interacting with immunoglobulin G (IgG). They are known to be required for the anti-tumour activity of direct targeting mAbs through expression on NK cells and macrophages. Furthermore, recent work has suggested that cross-linking via FcγRs is required for the activity of agonistic, immune modulatory mAb. This thesis sought to investigate the requirement for these receptors for different aspects of mAb activity; from T cell activation to tumour depletion, using a combination of in vitro and in vivo systems. A panel of CHO-K1 cells were generated and transfected to express the polymorphic variants of human FcγRs. These were characterised for their ability to bind IgG before being used as feeder cells in T cell proliferation assays. The assays found that cross-linking of the anti-CD28 mAb, TGN1412 by FcγRIIb (CD32b) or FcγRIIa (CD32a) but not FcγRIIIa (CD16a) transfected cells induced T cell proliferation. Furthermore, this was accompanied by the release of pro-inflammatory cytokines including TNF-α, IFN-γ and IL-2. With the importance of cross-linking via CD32b demonstrated, experiments probed the mechanism of expression using Ramos and Raji cells.

Instead, it pattern of two tandem immunoglobulin V-set (IgV) domains transmits the downstream signaling by phosphorylation of in- deriving from the ectodomains of both human CD226 (hCD226- tracellular phosphorylation sites and subsequent association with ecto) and mouse CD226 (mCD226-ecto), which is substantially integrin lymphocyte function-associated antigen 1 (21).
