6. Role of IL-1RAcP and IL-1ra in IL-1 signalling : molecular biological and transgenic studies
Sammanfattning : IL-1 is a proinflammatory cytokine which causes systemic responses such as fever, increased neuroendocrine activity, sympathetic outflow and increased immune responses. Activation of the transcription factor NFkB is one of the molecular mechanisms involved in IL-1 signalling. LÄS MER
7. Temporal events in neuronal differentiation and cell death : expression and processing of the Alzheimer's amyloid precursor protein family and a protein at the nuclear pore
Sammanfattning : The present study had two major objectives: 1) to elucidate the involvement of Alzheimer’s amyloid precursor protein (APP) family in neuronal differentiation, and the effect of the Alzheimer’s disease (AD)-linked mutation APPV642I on signal transduction; 2) to investigate the fate of the nuclear pore complex protein POM121 during apoptosis and to examine the possibility of using green fluorescent protein (GFP)-labelled POM121 as a non-invasive sensor of apoptosis in living (non-fixed) cells.APP is the parent protein of the b-amyloid peptide, which is the major peptide constituent in the “senile plaques” of AD.

8. Targeting viral induced TSLP - an airway treatment opportunity
Sammanfattning : Respiratory viral infections cause exacerbations of asthma and COPD that cannot be effectively treated today. Thymic Stromal Lymphopoietin (TSLP) is an upstream epithelial cytokine linking the innate and adaptive immune system. Viral stimuli induce epithelial overexpression of TSLP in asthma and COPD.

9. Signalling mechanisms in B cell differentiation: Studies on specific human immune response in vitro
Sammanfattning : We need to understand the major signalling events in human B cell differentiation in order to be able to regulate the generation of human antigen specific antibodies. This study has focused on the signalling mechanisms involved in generation of germinal centre reaction and secretion of specific antibodies by human B cells, using different in vitro immunisation technologies.

10. Aspects on latency in HIV-1 infection
Sammanfattning : The use of combination antiretroviral therapy (ART) has resulted in a substantial reduction in viremia, a rebound of CD4+ T-cells and increased survival for human immunodeficiency virus type 1 (HIV-1) infected individuals. Unfortunately, ART does not clear the infection or cure the individual from HIV-1. LÄS MER
