  1. 16. Immune mechanisms and potential immunological treatment in atherosclerosis

    Författare :Shailesh Kumar Samal; Karolinska Institutet; Karolinska Institutet; []
    Nyckelord :;

    Sammanfattning : Our immune system is an important and central part of the defence mechanisms of our body. It carries out various important functions such as protecting us from invading microorganisms, removing dead cells, and producing antibodies for future defence. For this, proper synchronization between the innate and adaptive immunity is required. LÄS MER

  3. 17. Innate Immune Proteins in a Crustacean Pacifastacus leniusculus

    Författare :Chenglin Wu; Irene Söderhäll; petr Kopácek; Uppsala universitet; []
    Nyckelord :NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; 2-DE; hematopoiesis; marker protein; melaniztion inhibiting protein; proPO-system; pattern recognition protein; PGN; ficolin-like protein; Immunology; Immunologi; Biology with specialization in Comparative Physiology; Biologi med inriktning mot jämförande fysiologi;

    Sammanfattning : Hemocytes (blood cells) are important in the immune defense against pathogens in invertebrates. In crusteacean, the hemocytes and plasma components mount a strong innate immune response against different pathogens including bacteria and virus. LÄS MER

  4. 18. Binding Kinetics of Proteins at Immune-Cell Contacts

    Författare :Manto Chouliara; NanoLund: Centre for Nanoscience; []
    Nyckelord :NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; T cells; Binding Kinetics; Affinity; Lifetime; CD4; CD2; TIRF Microscopy; SLBs;

    Sammanfattning : Protein-protein interactions are crucial in numerous cellular functions and biological processes that take place inside our body. It is therefore not surprising that these interactions also govern the response of our body´s defence mechanism, the so-called immune system, towards an infection. LÄS MER

  5. 19. Antimicrobial and xenobiotic defence in the mammalian testis

    Författare :Mona-Lisa Strand; Karolinska Institutet; Karolinska Institutet; []
    Nyckelord :;

    Sammanfattning : Different mechanisms exist in the mammalian testis to protect the germ cells from autoimmune attack, invading microbes, and xenobiotic induced toxicity, which would otherwise be deleterious to the preservation of fertility. The general aim of this thesis was to study these testicular defence mechanisms, including the structural building blocks of the blood– testis barrier (BTB), antimicrobial peptides, proinflammatory cytokines and ATP-binding cassette (ABC) transporter proteins.

  7. 20. Enterovirus infections in type 1 diabetes and cystic fibrosis : antiviral defence and viral immune evasion strategies

    Författare :Emma Svedin; Karolinska Institutet; Karolinska Institutet; []
    Nyckelord :;

    Sammanfattning : Enteroviruses are common viruses which cause infections in humans that usually result in mild flu-like symptoms before viral clearance. However, in some cases these infections can progress to more severe diseases such as myocarditis, pancreatitis and hepatitis. LÄS MER
