Marine fauna of county Wexford, Ireland: the fauna of rocky shores and sandy beaches
(The Marine Institute, 1998)
Information accumulated during 20 years of investigations on the coast of County Wexford is summarised. Topics include shore descriptions, faunal records, transectal surveys on rocky shores and sandy beaches, cryptofaunal ...
Colonisation of artificially cleared Laminaria digitata (Huds.) Lamour. by the blue-rayed limpet Helcion pellucidum (L.) (Mollusca, Gastropoda)
(1996)
The blue-rayed Helcion pellucidum is a herbivorous mollusc found on intertidal and sublittoral laminarian algae.
Invariant natural killer T-cell anergy to endogenous myelin acetyl-glycolipids in multiple sclerosis
(Elsevier, 2013)
Objective: To extend our studies on the glycolipid-reactive invariant Natural Killer T-cell (iNKT-cell) function in multiple sclerosis (MS), we investigated the stimulatory activities of two myelin-derived glycolipids which ...
Diverse populations of T cells with NK cell receptors accumulate in the human intestine in health and in colorectal cancer
(WILEY-VCH Verlag GmbH & Co. KGaA, Weinheim, 2004)
T cells expressing NK cell receptors (NKR) display rapid MHC-unrestricted cytotoxicity and potent cytokine secretion and are thought to play roles in immunity against tumors. We have quantified and characterized NKR+ T ...
Population dynamics, age, growth and maturity of lemon sole Microstomus kitt (Walbaum 1792) sampled between 2000-2002 off the west coast of Ireland
(Marine Institute, 2006)
The age, growth, maturity and population dynamics of lemon sale (Microstomus kin), from commercial catches off the west coast of Ireland (ICES division Vllb), was determined for the period November 2000 to February 2002. ...
Bivalve ligament - a new source of DNA for historical studies
(Aquatic Biology, 2007-12)
Bivalves are aquatic animals enclosed in 2 rigid shells that are held together by a hinge ligament. Features of the shell valves are important in taxonomy, and museums hold global collections of catalogued fossil, historical ...
Crustaceans and biodiversity crisis
(1998)
Talitrid amphipod crustaceans were recorded at about 240 sites around ireland using both published records and recent seashore surveys. Five species were present, the beachfleas Orchestia gammarellus and O. mediterranea, ...
iNKT-cells and their ligands: focus on multiple sclerosis
(2015)
The cells of the immune system are broadly divided into those that belong to the innate arm of immunity and those that belong to the adaptive immune system(1) The innate immune cells include macrophages, dendritic cells ...
Implications of lymphocyte anergy to glycolipids in multiple sclerosis (MS): iNKT cells may mediate the MS infectious trigger
(2013)
Immunogenic lipids may play key roles in host defenses against infection and in generating autoimmune inflammation and organ-specific damage. In multiple sclerosis (MS) there are unequivocal autoimmune features and ...
Conventional, regulatory, and unconventional T cells in the immunologic response to helicobacter pylori
(Blackwell Publishing Ltd, 2008)
Infection by the gastroduodenal pathogen Helicobacter pylori elicits a complex immunologic response in the mucosa involving neutrophils, plasma cells, eosinophils, and lymphocytes, of which T cells are the principal ...
