6. Prostaglandin E2 in Brain-mediated Illness Responses
Sammanfattning : We are unceasingly exposed to potentially harmful microorganisms. The battle against threatening infectious agents includes activation of both the innate and of the adaptive immune systems. LÄS MER
7. Neutrophil recruitment in H. pylori induced inflammation: characterization of regulatory factors
Sammanfattning : Helicobacter pylori, a bacterium colonizing the human gastric mucosa, is strongly associatedwith the development of gastric and duodenal ulcers, as well as gastric, adenocarcinoma.Virtually all infected individuals develop active chronic gastritis characterized by a continousinfiltration of neutrophils as well as mononuclear cells. LÄS MER
8. Novel actions of thrombin-derived host defense peptides
Sammanfattning : Thrombin-derived C-terminal peptides (TCPs) constitute a novel class of immunomodulatory host defense peptides, generated during infection and inflammation. Previous investigations have shown that TCPs of 2-3 kDa inhibit pro-inflammatory immune responses in vitro and in vivo, but their mode of action remained unclear. LÄS MER
9. Mechanisms of P fimbriae cell activation
Sammanfattning : Microbial attachment to host cells plays a central role in the induction of inflammatory responses and the production of the disease. Uropathogenic Gram negative bacteria carry surface lectins that specifically recognize oligosaccharide receptor epitopes expressed on glycolipids or glycoproteins. LÄS MER
10. Toll-like Receptors in Allergic Rhinitis
Sammanfattning : Allergic rhinitis is an inflammatory disorder with the characteristic symptoms itching, sneezing, secretion and blockage upon allergen contact. In addition to the local inflammation in the nose, there is a systemic component that influences peripheral blood, bone marrow and lungs. LÄS MER
