  1. 11. Structural Insights into the Acquisition and Storage of Iron

    Författare :Ulrika Schagerlöf; Biokemi och Strukturbiologi; []
    Nyckelord :NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; Strukturkemi; Molecular biophysics; Molekylär biofysik; Structure chemistry; single particle; ferric reductase; human phagocyte superoxide-generating NADPH oxidase; frataxin; cryo electron microscopy; FRO2; iron homeostasis; iron acquisition;

    Sammanfattning : It is of vital importance to understand the systems for iron metabolism and this thesis contributes to this by providing insights into the structure and function of the acquisition and homeostasis of iron. The two proteins that have been primarily investigated are a ferric reductase from Arabidopsis thaliana called FRO2 and a mitochondrial iron chaperone from Saccharomyces cerevisiae called frataxin.

  3. 12. Mechanisms of leukemia-induced immunosuppression

    Författare :Johan Aurelius; Göteborgs universitet; []
    Nyckelord :MEDICIN OCH HÄLSOVETENSKAP; MEDICAL AND HEALTH SCIENCES; Acute myeloid leukemia; Immunosuppression; Immunotherapy; Reactive oxygen species; PARP-1; NK cells; T cells;

    Sammanfattning : This thesis aimed to define the role of reactive oxygen species (ROS), produced by the NADPH oxidase of myeloid cells, in the regulation of lymphocyte function with focus on ROS-induced dysfunction of natural killer (NK) cells and T lymphocytes in myeloid leukemia. In Paper I, a novel mechanism is presented by which specifically activated T lymphocytes evade inactivation by ROS after antigen presentation. LÄS MER

  4. 13. The Role of Reactive Oxygen Species in Animal Models of Autoimmunity

    Författare :Malin Hultqvist; Immunologi; []
    Nyckelord :MEDICIN OCH HÄLSOVETENSKAP; MEDICAL AND HEALTH SCIENCES; Mice; Phytol; ROS; NOX; NADPH; p47phox; Ncf1; EAE; inflammation; Arthritis; RA; MS; Rats; Autoimmunity;

    Sammanfattning : Reactive oxygen species (ROS) produced by the phagocyte NADPH oxidase complex are important in the killing of invading pathogens. Lately, a role of ROS has been suggested in regulation of the immune system. LÄS MER

  5. 14. Phagocytic-receptor signaling in human neutrophils

    Författare :Ragnhild Löfgren; Matthias P. Wymann; Linköpings universitet; []
    Nyckelord :MEDICINE; MEDICIN;

    Sammanfattning : The neutrophil granulocyte is one of the most mobile cells in the body and through a number of functions represents the first line of defense against invading pathogens. Adhesion and chemotactic receptors on the cell surface work together through modulation of the cytoskeleton, thereby enabling cell movement. LÄS MER

  7. 15. Oxidant-induced cell death in lymphocytes: mechanisms of induction and resistance

    Författare :Fredrik Bergh Thorén; Göteborgs universitet; []
    Nyckelord :reactive oxygen species; cell death; apoptosis; poly ADP-ribose polymerase-1; apoptosis-inducing factor; natural killer cells; phagocytes; dendritic cells;

    Sammanfattning : Reactive oxygen species (oxidants, oxygen radicals) produced by the phagocytic NADPH oxidase have pivotal roles in immunity. Patients lacking a functional NADPH oxidase suffer from chronic granulomatous disease, which is characterized by recurring bacterial infections and thus manifesting the importance of reactive oxygen species in host defense against bacteria.
