  2. 6. Platelets in inflammation : Role of complement protein C1q, C-reactive proteinand toll-like receptors

    Author : Caroline Skoglund; Torbjörn Bengtsson; Jonas Wetterö; Pentti Tengvall; David Erlinge; Linköpings universitet; []
    Keywords : MEDICINE; MEDICIN;

    Abstract : Platelets are proven essential in haemostasis, however, they are now also increasingly recognized as cells with important immunomodulatory properties, e.g. through interaction with leukocytes and several species of bacteria and by release inflammatory mediators upon activation.

  4. 7. Polypeptide Conjugates as High-affinity Binders for Proteins

    Author : Lotta Tollstoy Tegler; Lars Baltzer; Amelie Eriksson Karlström; Uppsala universitet; []
    Keywords : NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; Protein recognition; polypeptide conjugates; peptide; molecular interactions; C-reactive protein; Acetylcholine esterase; Human Carboinc anhydrase; Chemistry; Kemi; organisk kemi; Organic Chemistry;

    Abstract : A novel concept for protein recognition has been developed. The recognition unit is a hybrid molecule obtained by conjugation of a small organic molecule to a synthetic polypeptide selected from a 16-membered set of 42 amino acid residue sequences. The sequences are unordered and have no prior relation to the target proteins. READ MORE

  5. 8. C-reactive protein in clinical practice with special regard to infectious diseases

    Abstract : A new simple affinity purification method for human CRP using Arginine-Sepharose 4B was developed with a recovery of >90 % and containing < 5-10 % contaminating proteins. In a multicenter study including 607 consecutive patients in general practice, erythrocyte sedimentation rate (ESR) and serum CRP were compared. READ MORE

  6. 9. Human C-reactive protein : genetic and hormonal regulation and role in atherogenesis

    Author : Alexander Kovacs; Karolinska Institutet; Karolinska Institutet; []
    Keywords : ;

    Abstract : Although in decline in the developed world CHD is still the number one killer. The decline is thought to be due to better risk prevention and treatment. C-reactive protein (CRP) has emerged as an marker of CHD. It is associated with several of the major risk factors of CHD. READ MORE

  7. 10. Inflammation and lifestyle in cardiovascular medicine

    Abstract : Despite major advances in the treatment and prevention of atherosclerosis the last several decades, cardiovascular disease still accounts for the majority of deaths in Sweden. With the population getting older, more obese and with rising numbers of diabetics, the cardiovascular disease burden may increase further in the future. READ MORE
