1. Natural Products as Leads for Pharmaceutically Active Compounds
Sammanfattning : In the search for new pharmaceutically active compounds, it is recognized that Nature produces structurally different compounds in a great variety. By having the compounds or extracts tested in defined systems, new drugs or more often leads (a compound that has an interesting but moderate activity) can be found. LÄS MER
2. FROM DISEASE TO THE GENE - Identification of arthritis-regulating loci in rats
Sammanfattning : Rheumatoid arthritis (RA) is an autoimmune disease characterized by chronic inflammation of the peripheral joints that eventually leads to cartilage destruction and bone erosion. The causes of RA remain largely unknown, but considerable evidence suggests a multifactorial aetiology involving both environmental and genetic factors. LÄS MER
3. Genetic Factors and Nasal Tolerance in Rat Models for Rheumatoid Arthritis
Sammanfattning : We used three animal models of rats for rheumatoid arthritis (RA) in this study. Firstly, We found that CXI induced arthritis (CXIIA) is associated with the RT1 f haplotype and follows a chronic disease course affecting peripheral joints with both progression and relapses. LÄS MER
4. Functional and genetic analyses of the MHC and its impact on autoimmunity in the rat
Sammanfattning : The major histocompatibility complex (MHC) is an allele-rich and exceptionally gene dense region on human chromosome 6. Over 40% of the genes in this region have immune-related functions, including genes encoding MHCI and MHCII molecules. These molecules, which are found in nearly all vertebrates, present antigenic peptides to CD4 and CD8 T cells. LÄS MER
5. New models for relapsing polychondritis and rheumatoid arthritis : focus on the tissue specific immune response
Sammanfattning : Relapsing polychondritis (RP) and rheumatoid arthritis (RA) are autoimmune diseases where an inappropriate immune response destroys cartilage. In RP, the ears, larynx, nose and joints are affected, while the most prominent sign of RA is arthritis. LÄS MER
