  1. 1. Leishmania donovani Lipophosphoglycan : Modulation of Macrophage and Dendritic Cell Function

    Författare :Katarina Tejle; Birgitta Rasmusson; Karl-Eric Magnusson; Olle Stendahl; Marita Troye-Blomberg; Linköpings universitet; []
    Nyckelord :LANTBRUKSVETENSKAPER; AGRICULTURAL SCIENCES; Lipophosphoglycan; Leishmania donovani; macrophage; actin; phagocytosis; PKC alpha; dendritic cell; Microbiology and immunology; Mikrobiologi och immunologi;

    Sammanfattning : Leishmania donovani is a blood-borne tropicial parasite, which infects humans through bites by Phlebotomus sandflies. The parasite survives and multiplies inside macrophages in inner organs, and causes the deadly disease visceral leishmaniasis (Kala-Azar). LÄS MER

  3. 2. Leishmania donovani lipophosphoglycan : effects on actin and phagosomal maturation

    Författare :Åsa Holm; Maria Fällman; Linköpings universitet; []
    Nyckelord :MEDICINE; MEDICIN;

    Sammanfattning : Leishmania donovani promastigotes survive intracellularly in macrophages by inhibiting phagosomal maturation. This ability is conferred by surface lipophosphoglycan (LPG), which is transferred to the host-cell plasma and phagosomal membranes during phagocytosis. LÄS MER

  4. 3. The Immunopathology of Rheumatoid Arthritis and Leishmania donovani Infection in Sudan

    Författare :Amir I. Elshafie; Johan Rönnelid; Anders Bengtsson; Uppsala universitet; []
    Nyckelord :Klinisk immunologi; Clinical Immunology;

    Sammanfattning : Immune complexes (IC) and antibody production against self-antigens play a pathological key role in the development of autoimmunity that occurs in patients with parasitic infections and rheumatic diseases. My studies have targeted two groups of patients from Sudan; patients with visceral leishmaniasis (VL) and patients with rheumatoid arthritis (RA). LÄS MER

  5. 4. Immunogenicity of anti-leishmaniasis vaccines in man

    Författare :Iman Nasr Eldin Satti; Karolinska Institutet; Karolinska Institutet; []
    Nyckelord :Leishmania; cellular immunity; cytokines; Leishmanin skin test.;

    Sammanfattning : Leishmaniasis represents a serious health problem in Sudan. There is no adequate control measure available against the disease in the country. Vaccination remains the optimal potential control measure. LÄS MER

  7. 5. Effects of lipophosphoglycan on macrophage actin dynamics

    Författare :Katarina Tejle; Linköpings universitet; []
    Nyckelord :MEDICINE; MEDICIN;

    Sammanfattning : Leishmania donovani is a blood-borne tropicial parasite, which infects humans through bites by Phlebotomine sandflies. The parasite survives and multiplies inside macrophages in inner organs, and causes the deadly disease visceral leishmaniasis (Kala-Azar). Lipophosphoglycan (LPG) is the major surface component of Leishmania donovani promastigotes. LÄS MER
