1. Haematopoietic Serine Proteases : A Cleavage Specificity Analysis
Sammanfattning : Mast cells are innate immune cells, historically involved in allergy responses involving IgE. Through this, they have earned a reputation as a fairly detrimental cell type. Their beneficial roles remain somewhat enigmatic although they clearly have the ability to modulate the immune system. LÄS MER
2. Chymotrypsin/trypsin-related serine proteases : A structural, functional and evolutionary analysis
Sammanfattning : Is life possible without proteolytic enzymes? Proteases participate in almost everyaspect of life and they can be found throughout the body and in every cell. Mast cells,together with basophils are, two important effector cells of the immune system. LÄS MER
3. Studies of chronic ulcers and larval therapy
Sammanfattning : Our aims in this study were to learn more about chronic ulcer pathogenesis (Paper I) and larval therapy (Paper II-V).Materials and methods: Paper I: 26 bacterial isolates of P. aeruginosa from chronic ulcers were examined by PCR technique for detection of the genes of two virulence factors (elastase and alkaline proteinase).

4. Neutral proteases of rodent mast cells
Sammanfattning : Mast cells are important effector cells in general as well as in allergic inflammation andin the defence against helminthic parasites and bacteria. Two major populations, withdifferences in tissue distribution, have been identified; connective tissue mast cells andmucosal mast cells. LÄS MER
5. Cutting Edge – Cleavage Specificity and Biochemical Characterization of Mast Cell Serine Proteases
Sammanfattning : It is well established that mast cells (MC) are key players in airway pathologies such as allergic asthma, but they are also known to contribute to host defense and tissue remodeling. MC serine proteases are the major protein components of mast cell granules and accordingly, are most likely involved in many aspects of MC function. LÄS MER
