1. Cytokines and their soluble receptors in nasal fluids from school children with allergic rhinitis
Sammanfattning : Allergic inflammation is associated with a shift in the balance between cytokines produced by two T helper subsets (Th1 and Th2) towards a preponderance of Th2 cells. Interleukin (IL)-4 is produced by Th2 cells and interferon-g (IFN-g) by Th1 cells. The ratio IL-4/IFN-g is often used as a marker of the balance between the cytokines. LÄS MER
2. Processing of TNF-receptors to soluble receptor forms in myeloid cells
Sammanfattning : TNF (Tumor Necrosis Factor) is a pro-inflammatory cytokine which binds to two cell surface receptors, TNF-R55 and TNF-R75. The receptors undergo proteolytic cleavage and release a fragment (soluble TNF-receptors or TNF-Binding Protein), TNF-R55-BP and TNF-R75-BP. Soluble TNF-receptors are able to bind and inactivate TNF.

3. Allergic airway inflammation and bone marrow eosinophilopoiesis. Modulation by cytokines
Sammanfattning : Accumulation of eosinophils in the airways and lung parenchyma is one of the hallmarks of allergic airway inflammation. This cellular inflammatory response is likely to involve the release of eosinophils from peripheral storage pools and possibly cause production of eosinophils in the bone marrow (BM). LÄS MER
4. Aspects on the cytokine load in trauma with special reference to blood components and local versus systemic cytokine activity
Sammanfattning : Cytokines and their inhibitors are thought to be involved in many of the pathophysiological changes associated with trauma and infection. Therapeutic measures such as transfusion of blood components could have a bearing on the systemic cytokine load in these conditions. LÄS MER
5. Cytokine production in allogeneic haematopoietic stem-cell transplantation patients
Sammanfattning : Severe immunological complications may occur after haematopoietic stem-cell transplantation (HSCT). These include acute graft-versus-host disease (GVHD), veno-occlusive disease of the liver (VOD) and severe infections. LÄS MER
