1. A novel principle for immunomodulator delivery with hematopoietic cells as vehicles Focus on soluble TNF-receptor gene expression, targeting to secretory lysosomes and regulated secretion
Sammanfattning : The goal of this research is to use hematopoietic cells as vehicles for targeting transgenic immunomodulators to the inflammatory sites. The work presented was focused on the anti-inflammatory soluble TNF receptor. A transmembrane soluble TNF receptor (sTNFR1) construct was expressed in hematopoietic cell lines. LÄS MER
2. Sorting and processing of neutrophil granule proteins
Sammanfattning : The neutrophil granulocytes have a critical role in innate immunity in particular through phagocytosis of microorganisms. Their cytoplasmic granule subsets store digestive enzymes and antibiotic proteins that are released during this event. LÄS MER
3. β-cell dysfunction in Huntington's disease
Sammanfattning : Huntington's disease (HD), a fatal neurodegenerative disorder, is associated with an increased risk of diabetes mellitus. The reason for this is unknown, but considering the functional similarities of neurons and the insulin secreting pancreatic β-cell, pathological mechanisms may be shared by both cell types and account for neuronal as well as endocrine dysfunction.

4. Mass spectrometric analyses of proteoglycans - Novel tools for studying prohormones in insulin-producing cells
Sammanfattning : Proteoglycans (PGs) are proteins that carry one or more negatively charged glycosaminoglycan (GAG) chains. Proteoglycans have been identified in essentially all multicellular organisms, and are implicated in a wide range of biological and pathological processes. LÄS MER
5. Mechanisms for Targeting of Proteins to Secretory Lysosomes of Haematopoietic Cells
Sammanfattning : The cells of the innate immune system are essential for the host's first line defence against infection. Among these cells the neutrophil granulocyte has a central role by the production of antibiotic proteins and peptides. LÄS MER
