1. 6. Innate immune response in human endothelial cells : characterization and regulation of E-selectin, ICAM-I and cytokine expression and the role of Staphylococcus aureus

   Författare :Jan Strindhall; Åsa Ljungh; Linköpings universitet; []
   Nyckelord :MEDICINE; MEDICIN;

   Sammanfattning : Endothelial cells located on the vessel walls play an important role in inflammation. In response to cytokines or other inflammatory mediators such as microorganisms, endothelial cells express cell adhesion molecules such as E-selectin and ICAM-1 that are involved in binding circulating leukocytes to the endothelium.

3. 7. Staphylococcus aureus in the infantile bowel flora

   Författare :Erika Lindberg; Göteborgs universitet; []
   Nyckelord :Staphylococcus aureus; intestinal; microflora; superantigen; RAPD; bacteria; infants;

   Sammanfattning : The increasingly hygienic life-style in Western societies may not only have reduced infections, but may also have altered the composition of the commensal microflora, which may, in turn, have predisposed to e.g. allergy development. Here we investigated the first year s intestinal colonization pattern of a Swedish birth-cohort. LÄS MER

4. 8. The immunomodulatory function of staphylococcal superantigen on oral tolerance

   Författare :Anna Stern; Göteborgs universitet; []
   Nyckelord :MEDICIN OCH HÄLSOVETENSKAP; MEDICAL AND HEALTH SCIENCES; MEDICIN OCH HÄLSOVETENSKAP; MEDICAL AND HEALTH SCIENCES; oral tolerance; superantigen; hygiene hypothesis; staphylococcal enterotoxin;

   Sammanfattning : Exposure to soluble proteins via the gut gives rise to systemic tolerance, a phenomenon called oral tolerance. Failure of oral tolerance results in allergy, a disease that has increased during the last decades in Western industrialized countries. The cause of this rapid increase is unknown. LÄS MER
