  2. 6. Heat shock proteins as vaccine adjuvants

    Author : Khaleda Rahman Qazi; Carmen Fernández; Qijun Chen; Stockholms universitet; []
    Keywords : MEDICIN OCH HÄLSOVETENSKAP; MEDICAL AND HEALTH SCIENCES; Heat shock protein; vaccine; adjuvant; BCG; Immunology; Immunologi;

    Abstract : New efficient vaccines against infectious diseases are in demand. Some important factors impeding the vaccine development are the poor immunogenicity and the MHC restriction of the immune responses to a number of antigens. READ MORE

  4. 7. Cell cycle alterations and 11q13 amplification in breast cancer : prediction of adjuvant treatment response

    Author : Marie Ahnström Waltersson; Olle Stål; Marie-Louise Fjällskog; Linköpings universitet; []
    Keywords : MEDICINE; MEDICIN;

    Abstract : The growth and development of the breast is to a large extent regulated by oestrogens through the oestrogen receptor (ER). Activation of the ERα triggers transcription of genes that are important for cell proliferation and stimulates entry into the G1 phase of the cell cycle. READ MORE

  5. 8. Gastrointestinal stromal tumours. On diagnosis and treatment

    Author : Per Bümming; Göteborgs universitet; []
    Keywords : adjuvant; epidemiology; GIST; imatinib; KIT; mutation; neoadjuvant; neuroendocrine phenotype; PET; prognosis; surgery; vesicle proteins;

    Abstract : Gastrointestinal stromal tumours (GIST) are thought to originate from the interstitial cells of Cajal, which show many properties in common with neurons of the gastrointestinal tract. High-risk GIST has a very poor prognosis and tumour recurrence is common after intentionally curative surgery. READ MORE

  6. 9. Experimental and population-based studies on colorectal cancer - Thymidine phosphorylase as a potential biomarker

    Author : Elinor Bexe-Lindskog; Göteborgs universitet; []
    Keywords : MEDICIN OCH HÄLSOVETENSKAP; MEDICAL AND HEALTH SCIENCES; MEDICIN OCH HÄLSOVETENSKAP; MEDICAL AND HEALTH SCIENCES; colorectal cancer; thymidine phosphorylase; chemotherapy; adjuvant; biological markers; prognosis; practice guidelines; radiotherapy;

    Abstract : Background: Colorectal cancer (CRC) is one of the most common malignancies, and the only reliable treatment option for cure is surgery. Method: Quantitative real-time polymerase chain reaction was used to analyze the gene expression of the enzyme thymidine phosphorylase (TP), which was related to prognostic factors (paper I, n=254), evaluated as a predictive factor (paper III, n=125), and assessed by change of treatment (paper II, n=28).

  7. 10. Mast cells: bad enemies or good friends? : A study of the effects of IgG immune complexes on mast cell biology

    Author : Lisa M Larsson; Göteborgs universitet; []
    Keywords : MEDICIN OCH HÄLSOVETENSKAP; MEDICAL AND HEALTH SCIENCES; Mast cell; Fc receptor; Apoptosis; Immune complex; Adjuvant; CTA1-DD.;

    Abstract : Mast cells are classically defined as bad enemies to human health due to their critical involvement in IgE-dependent allergy by virtue of the expression of the high affinity IgE receptor, FcgammaRI, on these cells. However, mouse mast cells also express FcgammaRIIB and FcgammaRIIIA, two receptors that bind IgG especially in the form of IgG immune complexes. READ MORE
