    WesBurlesque; "How to Find Comfortability in the Uncomfortable" (just some ideas here…) My Thesis: At Wesleyan I will be interpreting how Performers in WesBurlesque believe that the performance/ process is “liberating” and “inclusive” but at the same time pushes members outside their “comfort zone” and excludes some individuals in the process. By interviewing seven of the sixty current performers, I was able to obtain ethnographic evidence that presents a paradox of individuals gaining self-confidence and self-acceptance, by being pushed outside their comfort zones. By utilizing Geertz’ system of interruptive/symbolic anthropology, I was able to examine how this self-discovery occurs, and what it means for the larger Wesleyan community as…

    Epstein-Barr Virus is part of the herpesvirus family and was the first virus discovered to cause a human cancer. The virus has two stages of its life, the latent phase, which allows the virus to lie dormant within a cell and the host. The other stage is the lytic phase in which the virus reproduces and allows the virus to spread among cells. Haloperidol (HPD) aids in the initiation of the lytic cycle.…

    Chediak-Higashi syndrome is a Primary human immunodeficiency disease which is caused by genetic predisposition in an autosomal recessive pattern, where this describes any chromosome other than sex chromosomes where both pairs of the gene in each cell have underwent mutation. This disorder itself is a rare one, where about 200 cases of the condition have been reported worldwide. The parents of the person with this type of condition, autosomal recessive, carry one copy of the mutated gene, but normally don’t show signs and symptoms of the condition transcribed to the child. This syndrome affects chiefly the immune system, where the disease damages immune system cells, leaving them less able to fight off invaders such as viruses and bacteria. As a result, most people with…

    After the cells have been analyzed, the cells that didn’t express genes when isolated were expressed in population and those that weren’t expressed in a population were expressed when isolated. The experiments were able to conclude that when the cells were isolated the entire organism wouldn’t respond to the infection and when the cell were in a population the expressed genes were able to respond against the Infection. The use of single cells prompted new ideas and discoveries that weren’t able to be researched in the…

    Sometimes the immune system cannot destroy disease alone. It needs some stimulation to help it destroy foreign bodies. Therefore, some doctors give patients vaccines to simulate the immune system to defect against microbes. When the body gets this disease again, the body can defect about its self without any help. The immune system can recognize antigen or antibody secret from microbe through specific sequence of protein.…

    Oral Tolerance Essay

    Oral tolerance is the property of certain antigens which, when ingested via the oral route suppresses the immune system and induces tolerance. This property can be used to explain how peptides and other molecules from the food we eat are easily digested and absorbed without eliciting an immune response. This property has been exploited by scientists wherein particular amounts of antigens when administered through the oral route lead to its tolerance by the immune system and thus help in alleviating disease symptoms. Different antigens induce different degrees of tolerance. Here the aim is to understand the structural characteristics favourable for inducing tolerogenicity and avail the results for therapeutic uses.…
