16. Acute inflammation in peritoneal dialysis. Experimental studies in rats. Characterization of regulatory mechanisms
Sammanfattning : The predominant problems associated with peritoneal dialysis (PD) are ultrafiltration failure and peritonitis. PD maintains a state of intraperitoneal inflammation that affects the structure and function of the peritoneal membrane, potentially impairing ultrafiltration efficiency. LÄS MER
17. Immunoglobulin-binding bacterial surface proteins; biomedical tools and virulence factors
Sammanfattning : Many bacteria express immunoglobulin(Ig)-binding proteins that interact with Ig in a non-immune manner. Several of these Ig-binding bacterial proteins have been well characterized and are widely used as reagents for analysis and purification of Ig's. LÄS MER
18. Microglial Glutamate Transporters - Regulation of Expression and Possible Physiological Functions
Sammanfattning : Microglia are considered as the immunocompetent cells of the central nervous system (CNS). Being the first line of defence, they have prominent roles in monitoring the homeostasis and the extracellular milieu and can rapidly and specifically react to any disturbances such as brain trauma, ischemia, neurodegenerative diseases, or infections.

19. Studies on biological treatment and biomarkers in systemic lupus erythematosus : longterm effects, risk factors and predictors of response
Sammanfattning : Systemic Lupus Erythematosus (SLE) is an autoimmune disease in which several immune mechanisms are involved in a complex interplay. B-cells are considered to be a major player in the pathophysiology of the disease, and the advent of B-cell depletion therapy (BCDT), has brought much promise. LÄS MER
20. Studies of inflammatory responses in hantavirus infection
Sammanfattning : Throughout the world, orthohantaviruses cause severe, acute infections in humans. Orthohantaviruses, commonly referred to as hantaviruses, are zoonotic viruses with a single stranded RNA genome of negative sense. LÄS MER
