16. Responses to Tumour initiating factors and Regulation of Normal and Malignant Haematopoiesis
Sammanfattning : The haematopoietic stem cell (HSC) resides within a specific environment enabling it to retain its self-renewal capacity or quiescent state. It is proposed that the HSC niche is hypoxic, a milieu within which the HSC is protected from intrinsic and extrinsic stimuli. LÄS MER
17. Regulation of antibody production in immunocompromised patients
Sammanfattning : The aim of this thesis was to study B-cell function and the regulation of specific antibody (Abs) production in immunocompromised individuals. As models, we have studied children with acute lymphoblastic leukaemia (ALL) and patients with IRV-I infection. LÄS MER
18. Pharmacogenetic studies of thiopurines : focus on thiopurine methyltransferase
Sammanfattning : Pharmacogenetics represents the study ofvariability in drug response due to genetic variations. The thiopurines (6-mercaptopurine, 6-thioguanine and azathioprine) are prodrugs which require metabolic transformation to exert effect. LÄS MER
