2. 1. Regulation of human mast cell development

   Author : Malin Hjertson; Uppsala universitet; []
   Keywords : MEDICIN OCH HÄLSOVETENSKAP; MEDICAL AND HEALTH SCIENCES; Genetics; Mast cells; hematopoiesis; chemotaxis; SCF; FL; GM-CSF; IL-3; RA; SDF-1; Genetik; Clinical genetics; Klinisk genetik; Pathology; patologi;

   Abstract : Mast cells are multifunctional effector cells of the immune system and are best known for theirparticipation in allergic reactions. The aim of this thesis was to investigate how the stem cell factor(SCF)-dependent development of mast cells from cord blood can be regulated by different factors, and tostudy how immature mast cells circulating in the blood can be recruited into the tissue.

4. 2. Expression profiling using manifold supports

   Author : Anette Hagberg; Joakim Lundeberg; Uppsala universitet; []
   Keywords : MEDICIN OCH HÄLSOVETENSKAP; MEDICAL AND HEALTH SCIENCES; Genetics; mRNA; expression; minimal residual disease MRD ; chronic myeloid leukemia CML ; recombinant human erythropoietin r-HuEpo ; anemia; insulin dependent diabetes mellitus IDDM ; transplantation; Genetik; Clinical genetics; Klinisk genetik; Medical Genetics; medicinsk genetik;

   Abstract : Analyses of mRNA provides a condensed view of gene structure and quantitative analysis can reveal the induction of physiological or pathological gene expression programs. This thesis describes a new method for mRNA isolation, followed by sensitive real time detection via polymerase chain reaction (PCR), in order to quantitate transcripts of interest. READ MORE

5. 3. The Myc network of growth regulators and its interplay with growth and differentiation signals

   Author : Siqin Wu; Uppsala universitet; []
   Keywords : MEDICIN OCH HÄLSOVETENSKAP; MEDICAL AND HEALTH SCIENCES; Genetics; Myc; Mad1; p21Cip1; phorbol ester; IFN-g; TGF-b; differentiation; Genetik; Clinical genetics; Klinisk genetik; Pathology; patologi;

   Abstract : The proto-oncogenes/tumor suppressor genes of the Myc/N4ax/Mad network encode transcription factors that are important regulators of cell growth, differentiation, and apoptosis and that are frequently implicated in tumor development. Regulation of their biological functions by growth/differentiation signals as well as their interplay with growth/differentiation signalling pathways play important roles in cell fate determination.

6. 4. Regulation and function of the Mad/Max/Myc network during neuronal and hematopoietic differentiation

   Author : Anne Hultquist; Uppsala universitet; []
   Keywords : MEDICIN OCH HÄLSOVETENSKAP; MEDICAL AND HEALTH SCIENCES; Genetics; Myc; Mad1; neuroblastoma; hematopoiesis; phorbol ester; retinoic acid; interferon-g; TGF-b; differentiation.; Genetik; Clinical genetics; Klinisk genetik; Pathology; patologi;

   Abstract : The Mad/Max/Myc transcription factor network takes part in the control of vital cellular functions such as growth, proliferation, differentiation and apoptosis. Dimerization with the protein Max is necessary for the Myc-family of oncoproteins and their antagonists, the Mad-family proteins, to regulate target genes and carry out their intended functions.

7. 5. Immunohistochemical study of rats receiving peripheral immunization with IFNg transfected glioma cells

   Author : Anna Darabi; Neurokirurgi; []
   Keywords : NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; Immunology; serology; transplantation; Immunologi; serologi; immunohistochemistry; IFNg; therapeutic immunization; malignant glioma; rat;

   Abstract : Malignant glioma is, with rare exceptions in younger adults, an uncurable brain tumor, as very few survive more than 1-2 years after diagnosis. Despite advances in recent years, current treatments such as surgery, radiotherapy and chemotherapy only prolongs the life of the patients. READ MORE
