Physiological mechanisms of aging in maless of model insect species
PROVAZNÍK, Jan
Trade-off between reproduction and longevity is a widely accepted fact, yet proximate mechanisms are scarcely understood. In this work I tested differences in lifespan between diapause and non-diapause males of a model insect, the linden bug Pyrrhocoris apterus. Also the role of juvenile hormone in regulation of longevity and immunity (measured by relative phenoloxidase activity) was assessed. In addition to that, I examined if juvenile hormone is the mediator of reduction in longevity induced by mating.

Roles of CD4+ and CD8+ T-lymphocytes in immune response to the gastric cryptosporidiosis
KODÁDKOVÁ, Alena
The roles of CD4+ and CD8+ T-cells were studied by using Cryptosporidium muris and mouse model of infection: immunized and naive BALB/c mice as a source of cells for adoptive transfer of immunity to SCID mice. Naive and primed CD4+ T-cells have a major effect in immunity of cryptosporidial infection. However SCID mice reconstituted with primed CD8+ T-cells were able to recover from the infection. The purity of the adoptive transfer pre and post-inoculation is discussed.
