We study stability and Hopf bifurcation analysis of a model that refers to the competition between the immune system and an aggressive host such as a tumor. The model which describes this competition is governed by a reaction-diffusion system including time delay under the Neumann boundary conditions, and is based on Kuznetsov-Taylor's model. Choosing the delay parameter as a bifurcation parameter, we first show that Hopf bifurcation occurs. Second, we determine two properties of the periodic solution, namely its direction and stability, by applying the normal form theory and the center manifold reduction for partial functional differential equations. Furthermore, we discuss the effects of diffusion on the dynamics by analyzing a model with constant coefficients and perform some numerical simulations to support the analytical results. The results show that diffusion has an important effects on the dynamics of a mathematical model.

Inflammasome Induction and Immunostimulatory Effects of CpG-ODN Loaded Liposomes Containing DC-Cholesterol
Bayyurt Kocabaş, Banu; Gursel, Ihsan (2014-08-01)
Objectives: This study aims to investigate the effects of cholesterol content and cationic property of liposomes on immune response. Materials and methods: Liposomes containing high amounts of 3ß-[N-(N',N'-dimethylaminoethane)- carbamoyl] cholesterol hydrochloride (DC-cholesterol) were prepared and loaded with K- and D-type CpG oligonucleotide (CpG-ODN) via dehydration-rehydration (DRV) method. After splenocytes and peritoneal exudate cells (PECs) primed with lipopolysaccharide (LPS) was incubated either wi...
A conjugated gold nanoparticle-azacyanine off-on-off fluorescence probe for sensitive and selective detection of G-quadruplexes
Bilgen, Ecenaz; Forough, Mehrdad; Persil Çetinkol, Özgül (Elsevier BV, 2020-09-01)
G-quadruplex secondary structures have gained significant recognition due to the discovery of their involvement in regulation of gene expression and their association with many diseases such as cancer and neurological disorders. Consequently, the need for the recognition and characterization of G-quadruplex structures has increased considerably. Here, we present a rapid, facile and sensitive off-on-off in vitro platform for G-quadruplex detection, based on the gold nanoparticle-azacyanine5 (AuNP-Aza5) conju...
In planta determination of GaMyb transcription factor as a target of pathogen induced microRNA, mir159
Akkaya, Mahinur; Dagdas, Gulay Gok; Dagdas, Yasin F. (2011-09-01)
One of the molecular mechanisms underlying the plant–pathogen interactions is the regulation of gene expressions in plant responses by microRNAs which are either stimulated or silenced against pathogen attacks. Among the plant miRNAs, we found that mir159 is one of which that differentially expressed upon Blumeria graminis f. sp. hordei (Bgh) infected resistant and susceptible barley lines. The study aims to confirm its role in regulating one of its putative target genes, GaMyb transcription factor, in vivo...
Detection and characterization of plant genes involved in various biotic and abiotic stress conditions using ddrt-pcr and isolation of interacting proteins
Ünver, Turgay; Akkaya, Mahinur S.; Department of Biotechnology (2008)
The main objective of this thesis dissertation is functionally characterizing the genes involved in biotic and abiotic stresses of plants at molecular level. Previously, upon pathogen attack Rad6 gene expression was found to be changed in wheat and barley plants. To functionally characterize the Rad6 gene, VIGS (Virus induced gene silencing) system was used. HR (Hypersensitive response) like symptoms was detected in every silenced barley and wheat plants. To figure out, transcriptomes and proteomes of Rad6 ...
A multi-layered graphical model of the relation among SNPS, GENES, and pathways based on subgraph search
Ersoy, Gökhan; Aydın Son, Yeşim; Can, Tolga; Department of Bioinformatics (2015)
The analysis of Single Nucleotide Polymorphisms (SNPs) through Genome Wide Association Studies (GWAS) presents great potential for describing disease loci and gaining insight into the underlying etiology of diseases. Recently described combined p-value approach allows identification of associations at gene and pathway level. The integrated programs like METU-SNP produce simple lists of either SNP id/gene id/pathway title and their p-values and significance status or SNP id/disease id/pathway information. In...
