  1. 1. Analysis of Complement Deficiency States. With Focus on Molecular Characterization of C4 and Properdin Deficiency

    Författare :Gunilla Nordin Fredrikson; Kardiovaskulär forskning - immunitet och ateroskleros; []
    Nyckelord :MEDICIN OCH HÄLSOVETENSKAP; MEDICAL AND HEALTH SCIENCES; mycology; virology; bacteriology; Complement C4; Complement; Complement Screening; Deficiency; Meningococcal Disease; Properdin; Properdin Expression; Microbiology; Sequencing; Mikrobiologi; bakteriologi; virologi; mykologi;

    Sammanfattning : Complement deficiency is associated with an increased risk for invasive infection and immune complex disease. Screening for identification of complement-deficient patients is essential and a new ELISA-based procedure for detection of complement deficiency is described. LÄS MER

  3. 2. The role and mechanism of ubiquitin system in innate immune regulation

    Författare :Swarupa Panda; Nelson O. Gekara; Fredrik Elgh; Anna Överby; Geert van Loo; Umeå universitet; []
    Nyckelord :MEDICIN OCH HÄLSOVETENSKAP; MEDICAL AND HEALTH SCIENCES; MEDICIN OCH HÄLSOVETENSKAP; MEDICAL AND HEALTH SCIENCES; The ubiquitin system; Deubiquitinase; MYSM1; Innate immune regulation Toll-like receptor; RIG-l like receptors; Cytoplasmic DNA receptors; NOD-like receptors; Francisella tularensis; Immune subversion; molekylärbiologi; Molecular Biology;

    Sammanfattning : Pattern-recognition receptors (PRRs) include the cell surface or endosomal membrane localized Toll-like receptors (TLRs) and the cytoplasmic PRRs such as RIG-I-like receptors (RLRs), NOD-like receptors (NLRs) and cytoplasmic DNA receptors (CDRs). Triggering of PRRs culminates in the transcriptional induction of pro-inflammatory cytokines and type I interferons (IFNs) that coordinate protection against pathogens but require tight control to avert inflammatory diseases.

  4. 3. Innate immune mechanisms of atherosclerosis

    Författare :Xintong Jiang; Karolinska Institutet; Karolinska Institutet; []
    Nyckelord :;

    Sammanfattning : Atherosclerosis is a multi-factorial immune mediated disease in arterial wall characterized by lipid driven inflammation through activation of the immune system. Chronic vascular inflammation is an important component that modulates atherosclerosis evolution and its complications. LÄS MER

  5. 4. Complement-dependent defence against bacterial infection. Studies in C2 deficiency

    Författare :Barbro Selander; immunologi och glykobiologi - MIG Avdelningen för mikrobiologi; []
    Nyckelord :MEDICIN OCH HÄLSOVETENSKAP; MEDICAL AND HEALTH SCIENCES; MEDICIN OCH HÄLSOVETENSKAP; MEDICAL AND HEALTH SCIENCES; antibody responses; polysaccharide antigens; vaccination; mannan-binding lectin MBL ; complement; C2 deficiency; Immunology; serology; transplantation; Immunologi; serologi;

    Sammanfattning : The complement system is critically involved in defence against bacterial infection. C2 deficiency is, apart from mannan-binding lectin (MBL) deficiency, the most common homozygous complement deficiency among Caucasians. LÄS MER

  7. 5. Recurrent acute otitis media - aetiology, diagnostics and prevention

    Författare :Marie Gisselsson-Solén; Lund näs- och halssjukdomar Öron-; []
    Nyckelord :MEDICIN OCH HÄLSOVETENSKAP; MEDICAL AND HEALTH SCIENCES; Binax NOW; immunological aberrations; immune deficiency; Haemophilus influenzae; Streptococcus pneumoniae; nasopharyngeal colonization; conjugate pneumococcal vaccine; Acute otitis media; recurrent acute otitis media;

    Sammanfattning : Acute otitis media (AOM) is the most common bacterial infection in children. The clinical course varies from spontaneous recovery to life-threatening complications, and this variability mainly depends on the causative pathogen. LÄS MER
