  1. 1. Tumor Necrosis Factor-alpha as a target cytokine in vascular disease

    Författare :Lena Brånén; Malmö Institutionen för kliniska vetenskaper; []
    Nyckelord :MEDICIN OCH HÄLSOVETENSKAP; MEDICAL AND HEALTH SCIENCES; apoptosis; cell replication; Cardiovascular system; Kardiovaskulära systemet; spindle-shaped; epithelioid; smooth muscle cells; periadventitial cuff injury; sTNF-R1; bone marrow transplantation; chimeric fusion protein; atherogenic diet; ApoE; TNF-a; genetically altered mice; en face preparation; atherosclerosis; neointimal hyperplasia;

    Sammanfattning : Inflammation plays an important role in atherosclerosis. One of the most potent pro-inflammatory cytokines is tumor necrosis factor-alpha (TNF-a), a cytokine identified to have a pathogenic role in chronic inflammatory diseases such as rheumatoid arthritis (RA). LÄS MER

  3. 2. The chimeric SCID mouse in studies of the human immune system

    Författare :Mohammad Reza Abedi; Karolinska Institutet; Karolinska Institutet; []
    Nyckelord :;

    Sammanfattning : Several methods have been developed to transfer components of the human immune system into mice. In particular, the adoptive transfer of human Iymphoid cells or tissues into mice with severe combined immunodeficiency (SCID mice) has demonstrated the general applicability of such an approach.

  4. 3. Vaccination against Her2/neu : expressing cancer using chimeric virus-like particles

    Författare :Kalle Andreasson; Karolinska Institutet; Karolinska Institutet; []
    Nyckelord :;

    Sammanfattning : Thanks to the development of vaccines, children are these days protected against infectious diseases like polio, diphtheria and tetanus simply by receiving a few injections. Imagine a scenario where these injections would also result in protection against cancer. LÄS MER

  5. 4. Murine plasmacytomagenesis : an experimental model of B-cell neoplasia

    Författare :Santiago C Silva; Karolinska Institutet; Karolinska Institutet; []
    Nyckelord :mouse plasmacytomas; chromosomal translocation; chimeric mice; MYC-transgenic mice; ;

    Sammanfattning : A chromosomal translocation which results in the illegitimate activation of the c-myc proto-oncogene by one of the three immunoglobulin (Ig) loci is invariably associated with human Burkitt's Lymphoma (BL), mouse plasmacytoma (MPC) and rat immunocytomas (RIC). In the MPC system a genetic predisposition linked to the BALB/c strain has been suggested. LÄS MER

  7. 5. The Multiple Faces of Genetically-Modified T Cells : Potential Applications in Therapy

    Författare :Victoria Hillerdal; Magnus Essand; Johanna Olweus; Uppsala universitet; []
