  1. 6. Mast Cells as Sentinels : Role of serglycin and mast cell proteases in infection and inflammation

    Författare :Ananya Roy; Magnus Åbrink; Olaf Utermöhlen; Uppsala universitet; []
    Nyckelord :mast cells; serglycin; chymase; infection; parasite; Immunologi; Immunology;

    Sammanfattning : Mast cells (MCs), normally classified into connective tissue MCs and mucosal MCs, are highly granulated cells found in the interface between the interior and the exterior environment of our body, e.g. skin, airways and gastro-intestinal tract. LÄS MER

  3. 7. Serglycin-dependent mast cell-specific proteases and their potential interactions with Giardia intestinalis

    Författare :Zhiqiang Li; Sveriges lantbruksuniversitet; Sveriges lantbruksuniversitet; []
    Nyckelord :MEDICIN OCH HÄLSOVETENSKAP; MEDICAL AND HEALTH SCIENCES;

    Sammanfattning : Mast cells are located in mucosal and connective tissues throughout the body where they play important roles in immune reactions towards infections. Mast cell deficiency results in failure of clearance of the non-invasive intestinal protozoan parasite Giardia intestinalis in mice, but the mast cell-driven mechanisms remain poorly understood.

  4. 8. Sculpted through Time : Evolution and Function of Serine Proteases from the Mast Cell Chymase Locus

    Författare :Maike Gallwitz; Lars Hellman; Lars Pilström; Urban Gullberg; Uppsala universitet; []
    Nyckelord :Immunology; immune system; mast cell; chymase locus; serine protease; evolution; gene duplication; Immunologi;

    Sammanfattning : Immune cells like NK cells, T cells, neutrophils and mast cells store high amounts of granule serine proteases, graspases. Graspases are encoded from the mast cell chymase locus. The human locus holds four genes: α-chymase, cathepsin G, and granzymes H and B. In contrast, the mouse locus contains at least 14 genes. LÄS MER

  5. 9. Cutting Edge – Cleavage Specificity and Biochemical Characterization of Mast Cell Serine Proteases

    Författare :Ulrika Karlson; Lars Hellman; Urban Gullberg; Uppsala universitet; []
    Nyckelord :NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; Biology; mast cell; serine protease; tryptase; chymase; substrate specificity; phage display; Biologi; Biology; Biologi; Molecular Immunology; molekylär immunologi;

    Sammanfattning : It is well established that mast cells (MC) are key players in airway pathologies such as allergic asthma, but they are also known to contribute to host defense and tissue remodeling. MC serine proteases are the major protein components of mast cell granules and accordingly, are most likely involved in many aspects of MC function. LÄS MER

  7. 10. Chymotrypsin/trypsin-related serine proteases : A structural, functional and evolutionary analysis

    Författare :Maryam Poorafshar; Uppsala universitet; []
    Nyckelord :MEDICIN OCH HÄLSOVETENSKAP; MEDICAL AND HEALTH SCIENCES; Biochemistry; serine proteases; proteoglycans; mast cells; basophils; Biokemi; Biochemistry; Biokemi; immunologi; Immunology;

    Sammanfattning : Is life possible without proteolytic enzymes? Proteases participate in almost everyaspect of life and they can be found throughout the body and in every cell. Mast cells,together with basophils are, two important effector cells of the immune system. LÄS MER
