The effect of the human papillomavirus E5 protein on apoptosis in human foreskin keratinocytes
Get PDFThere are over seventy genotypes of Human Papillomaviruses (HPVs), some cause benign warts and others are risk factors for the development of carcinomas of the respiratory and genital tract. Research has proven that the high risk HPV 16 E5 protein in the presence of epidermal growth (EGF) acts as a survival factor resulting in elevated levels of activated epidermal growth factor receptor (EGFR) and activated levels of ERK 1/2 and Akt, two signaling molecules downstream of EGFR, in UVP irradiated human foreskin keratinocytes (HFKs). This leads to the protection of the cells from UVB induced apoptosis. The purpose of this experiment is to determine if the anti-apoptotic activity of the E5 protein is unique to the development of cancer or if the E5 protein is critical to the completion of the life cycle of both the low and high-risk viruses. The hypothesis being tested is that the anti-apoptotic activity of the E5 protein is fundamental to the completion of the life cycle of low and high-risk HPVs. If this is correct, then the low-risk HPV 6 E5 protein will block apoptosis. Therefore, to test this hypothesis HFKs were infected with the retroviruses encoding HPV 16E5, HPV 6 E5a, or the parent virus, LXSN. Then the cells were selected with G418, an antibiotic, exposed to UVB light, fixed in ethanol and incubated with propidium Iodine (PI) and Rnase A. Fluorescence Activated Cell Sorter (FACS) analysis was performed. The presence of cells in the subG1 peak would indicate apoptosis. In addition, to determine the potential effect of low risk E5 on survival pathways, cells were lysed, and Western blots were performed on the cell lysates to determine whether the EGFR had been activated

Privacy on the Internet : a study of ethical issues
Get PDFThis paper will explore the ethical issues of privacy as it relates to computer use or more specifically, the Internet. The information for this paper will be gleaned through books on computer ethics and priv acy, Internet web sites as well as through personal experience. This paper will explore the social and legal aspects ofInternet privacy by examining various real-life cases where Internet privacy was perceived to have been breached. In addition, it will showcase the issues of privacy from two sides: from the perspective of ordinary private citizens and from government agencies and marketing companies who feel that they have the right to such information
A world class facility for extreme sports for the Baton Rouge area
Get PDFThis thesis proposes a world class facility for extreme sports in Louisiana. This facility shall be an extreme sports entertainment center for Louisiana\u27s youth and young at heart as well as be a possible site for the annual ESPN X games. It is expected that this facility shall provide both indoor and outdoor activities dealing with extreme sports plus new-age sports activities. These sports and activities range from such outdoor events as freestyle motor cross, bicycle stunts, street luge, go cart racing and water games, to various indoor events such as roller blading, aggressive in-line skating, freestyle skateboarding, laser tag, paint ball -and wall climbing. Most extreme sports will be represented in this facility with the exception of winter X games and various water games. The goals of this extreme sports facility are to bring new types of entertainment and activities to Louisiana as well as bring worldwide recognition through the incorporation of ESPN X games. The activities housed in this facility shall gain the interest of those extreme sports fanatics in the United States and the entire world. The outcome of such a facility in this area could mean big changes in economy and cultural diversity
