  • Bacteriophage HP2 of Haemophilus influenzae 

    Williams, Bryan J.; Golomb, Miriam; Phillips, Thomas; Brownlee, Joshua; Olson, Maynard; Smith, Arnold L. (American Society for Microbiology, 2002)
    Temperate bacteriophages effect chromosomal evolution of their bacterial hosts, mediating rearrangements and the acquisition of novel genes from other taxa. Although the Haemophilus influenzae genome shows evidence of ...

  • Biogenesis of the Protein Storage Vacuole Crystalloid 

    Jiang, Liwen; Phillips, Thomas; Rogers, Sally W.; Rogers, John C., 1949- (The Journal of Cell Biology, 2000)
    We identify new organelles associated with the vacuolar system in plant cells. These organelles are defined biochemically by their internal content of three integral membrane proteins: a chimeric reporter protein that moves ...

  • Expression of a putative virulence protein of Haemophilus influenzae in E. coli 

    Vescovi, Susan; Phillips, Thomas; Golomb, Miriam (University of Missouri--Columbia. Office of Undergraduate Research, 2004)
    Haemophilus influenzae, a small, gram-negative bacterium, is a commensal organism of the human upper respiratory system as well as an agent of diseases ranging from otitis media to meningitis. Nonencapsulated (nontypeable, ...

  • Identification and characterization of M cells in the mammalian conjunctiva 

    Petris, Carisa Kay, 1979- (University of Missouri--Columbia, 2007)
    The M cell is a morphologically and functionally distinct epithelial cell found in the follicle associated epithelium (FAE) above organized lymphoid tissue at distinct locations along mucosal surfaces. By sampling antigens ...

  • Immunological analysis of a putative virulence protein of Haemophilus influenzae 

    Lett, Kawasi; Phillips, Thomas; Smith, Arnold L.; Golomb, Miriam (University of Missouri--Columbia. Office of Undergraduate Research, 2004)
    Haemophilus influenzae, a gram negative bacterium, is part of the normal flora of the human upper respiratory tract; however, they are also known to be pathogenic. Nonencapsulated (nontypeable) H. influenzae (NTHi) are ...

  • Localized adherence and microcolony formation by nontypeable Haemophilus influenzae [abstract] 

    Jean-Pierre, Ninochka; Scrivner, Stephanie; Phillips, Thomas; Golomb, Miriam (University of Missouri--Columbia. Office of Undergraduate Research, 2006)
    Haemophilus influenzae is a gram-negative bacterium that resides in the upper respiratory tract of most humans.  Nontypeable strains of H. influenzae (NTHi) cause many upper respiratory infections, including otitis media, ...

  • Localized adherence of Haemophilus influenzae to human lung cells in tissue culture 

    Williams, LaDerrick; Bratkowski, Matthew; Phillips, Thomas; Golomb, Miriam (University of Missouri--Columbia. Office of Undergraduate Research, 2005)
    The gram-negative coccobacillus H. influenzae is part of the respiratory mucosal flora of most healthy humans. Before the era of Hib vaccination, encapsulated H. influenzae of serotype b were the leading cause of childhood ...

  • The Protein Storage Vacuole: A Unique Compound Organelle 

    Jiang, Liwen; Phillips, Thomas; Hamm, Christopher A.; Drozdowicz, Yolanda M.; Rea, Philip A.; Maeshima, Masayoshi; Rogers, Sally W.; Rogers, John C., 1949- (The Journal of Cell Biology, 2001)
    Storage proteins are deposited into protein storage vacuoles (PSVs) during plant seed development and maturation and stably accumulate to high levels; subsequently, during germination the storage proteins are rapidly ...
