  1. 1. Initiation of alternative pathway of complement, and development of novel liposomal coatings

    Författare :Anna Adler; Yuji Teramura; Penti Tengvall; Uppsala universitet; []
    Nyckelord :MEDICIN OCH HÄLSOVETENSKAP; MEDICAL AND HEALTH SCIENCES; immunology; complement system; C3; liposomes; polymer-lipids; Immunologi; Immunology;

    Sammanfattning : The complement system is a central part of the innate immune system, and is an essential part in recognizing and clearing non/altered-self surfaces in the body. This thesis comprises of projects in which the initiation of the alternative pathway (AP) of complement in the fluid phase as well on various artificial and lipid surfaces has been studied. LÄS MER

  3. 2. The complement system in stherosclerosis and arthritis

    Författare :Linda Persson; Göteborgs universitet; []
    Nyckelord :complement; C3; factor B; ASP; atherosclerosis; hyperlipidemia; arthritis;

    Sammanfattning : The complement system plays an essential role in the humoral immune response. Activated complement has diverse functions, including the initiation of inflammation, recruitment of leukocytes, clearance of immune complexes, neutralization of pathogens, regulation of antibody responses and disruption of cell membranes.

  4. 3. Crosstalk Between Activated Platelets and the Complement System

    Författare :Osama A. Hamad; Bo Nilsson; Kristina Ekdahl-Nilsson; Lennart Truedsson; Uppsala universitet; []
    Nyckelord :MEDICIN OCH HÄLSOVETENSKAP; MEDICAL AND HEALTH SCIENCES; platelets; activated platelets; TRAP; chondroitin sulfate; C1q; factor H; C4BP; C3; Compstatin; complement; platelet-leukocyte complexes; platelet microparticles; Clinical immunology; Klinisk immunologi; Klinisk immunologi; Clinical Immunology;

    Sammanfattning : Several studies have shown that complement and thrombotic events co-exist. Platelets have been suspected to act as the bridge between the two cascade systems. LÄS MER

  5. 4. Clinical, epidemiological and molecular aspects of hemolytic uremic syndrome

    Författare :Lisa Sartz; Lund Pediatrik; []
    Nyckelord :MEDICIN OCH HÄLSOVETENSKAP; MEDICAL AND HEALTH SCIENCES; O157; C3; microparticles; Shiga toxin; epidemiology; EHEC; hemolytic uremic syndrome; complement; tissue factor; atypical HUS;

    Sammanfattning : Hemolytic uremic syndrome (HUS) is the most common cause of acute renal failure in children in the western world. HUS is characterized by the triad of hemolytic anemia, thrombocytopenia and renal failure. There are two main subtypes of HUS; typical or D+ (D stands for diarrhea) HUS associated with enterohemorrhagic E. LÄS MER

  7. 5. MORAXELLA CATARRHALIS OUTER MEMBRANE PROTEINS AND INTERACTIONS WITH THE HUMAN IMMUNE SYSTEM

    Författare :Therése Nordström; Malmö Klinisk mikrobiologi; []
    Nyckelord :MEDICIN OCH HÄLSOVETENSKAP; MEDICAL AND HEALTH SCIENCES; mycology; Mikrobiologi; virology; Microbiology; C4BP; B-cells; UspA2; Moraxella catarrhalis; virologi; mykologi; bakteriologi; bacteriology; C3; IgD; Moraxella IgD-bindning protein; UspA1;

    Sammanfattning : Moraxella catarrhalis is frequently colonizing the human respiratory tract, particularly in children. This gram-negative bacterium has during the last two decades been recognized as a pathogen causing otitis media in children and lower respiratory tract infections in adults with predisposing conditions such as chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD).
