2. 1. Angiopoietin-like protein 4 : an unfolding chaperone regulating lipoprotein lipase activity

   Author : Valentina Sukonina; Gunilla Olivecrona; Lena Kjellen; Umeå universitet; []
   Keywords : MEDICIN OCH HÄLSOVETENSKAP; MEDICAL AND HEALTH SCIENCES; Lipoprotein lipase; angiopoietin-like protein 4; protein folding; human adipose tissue; macrophages; peroxisome proliferator-activated receptor delta PPARδ ; Medical microbiology; Medicinsk mikrobiologi;

   Abstract : Lipoprotein lipase (LPL) is the main enzyme hydrolyzing triglyceride-rich lipoproteins in plasma. Proteoglycan-bound LPL on the vascular endothelium represent the functional pool of active enzyme. LPL is regulated in a tissue specific manner according to metabolic demands. READ MORE

4. 2. Protein and mRNA Studies of Rat FA1/Pref-1/dlk

   Author : Gabriella Persdotter Hedlund; Jann Hau; Carina Carlsson; Torgny Stigbrand; Uppsala universitet; []
   Keywords : Laboratory animals; Preadipocyte factor 1; delta like protein; Fetal antigen 1; Goto-Kakizaki; Zucker; adipokines; adipose tissue; diabetes; obesity; Försöksdjursvetenskap;

   Abstract : The timing of cell differentiation is important for development and renewal of well functioning organs and tissues. One protein involved in this process is Preadipocyte factor 1 (Pref-1). Most likely, the role of this protein is to maintain cells in an undifferentiated state. READ MORE

5. 3. Mitotic Kinesin-Like Protein 1 (MKLP1/KIF23) in hereditary congenital dyserythropoietic anemia type III and in cancer

   Author : Ann-Louise Vikberg; Irina Golovleva; Monica Holmberg; Masanori Mishima; Pontus Aspenström; Umeå universitet; []
   Keywords : MEDICIN OCH HÄLSOVETENSKAP; MEDICAL AND HEALTH SCIENCES; Alternative splicing; Cell division; COPI; Congenital dyserythropoietic anemia; Cytokinesis; Gene expression; KIF23 protein human; Cancer; MKLP1 protein mouse; Mutation; medicinsk genetik; Medical Genetics;

   Abstract : A hereditary form of autosomal dominant congenital dyserythropoietic anaemiatype III (CDA III) has been reported in four families from Sweden, Argentina, Cuba and USA. CDA III patients might experience signs of mild anaemia and some of them need occasional blood transfusions. READ MORE

6. 4. Interactions between Streptococcus pyogenes and the human immune system, with special reference to C4b-binding protein

   Author : Anette Thern; Avdelningen för medicinsk mikrobiologi; []
   Keywords : MEDICIN OCH HÄLSOVETENSKAP; MEDICAL AND HEALTH SCIENCES; Microbiology; Phagocytosis; M-proteins; M-like proteins; Bovine C4b-binding protein; Streptococcus pyogenes; Human C4b-binding protein; bacteriology; virology; mycology; Mikrobiologi; bakteriologi; virologi; mykologi;

   Abstract : The ability of many pathogenic microorganisms to cause infection is dependent on their ability to evade attack by the complement system of the host. One mechanism by which microorganisms may avoid complement attack is to bind complement inhibitory molecules present in the host. READ MORE

7. 5. Development of a protein-free fed-batch process for NS0 cells: studies on regulation of proliferation

   Author : Erika Spens; Lena Häggström; Jean-Louis Goergen; KTH; []
   Keywords : TEKNIK OCH TEKNOLOGIER; ENGINEERING AND TECHNOLOGY; NS0 myeloma cells; protein-free medium; fed-batch; conditioned medium; autocrine growth factors; abortive proliferation; protease activity; aprotinin; gp130; Bioengineering; Bioteknik;

   Abstract : The overall objective of this study was to investigate how NS0 cell proliferation is regulated in protein-free media. The hypothesis was that during the adaptation to growth factor-free media, animal cell lines start to produce their own autocrine growth factors to support proliferation, and after some time in a culture the effects of these factors are lost which results in cessation of proliferation.
