  2. 1. Regulation of human eosinophil transmigration across lung epithelium

    Author : Lixin Liu; Uppsala universitet; []
    Keywords : Medical sciences; Eosinophils; regulation; migration; epithelial cells; lung; calcium; CD11b CD18; neutrophils; MEDICIN OCH VÅRD; MEDICINE; MEDICIN; Clinical Chemistry; klinisk kemi;

    Abstract : Eosinophil infiltration into the lung tissues and airways is a hallmark of allergic asthma. To reach the lung lumen, eosinophils migrate across the vascular endothelium, through the interstitial matrix and across lung epithelium. READ MORE

  4. 2. Cell biological mechanisms and activity markers of eosinophils in relation to allergic inflammation

    Author : Eva C Fernvik; Karolinska Institutet; Karolinska Institutet; []
    Keywords : allergic inflammation; CD9; CD11b; EG2; eosinophils; flow cytometry; FOG-method;

    Abstract : It is becoming increasingly apparent that the pathogenesis of respiratory allergic diseases, including asthma and allergic rhinitis, is closely linked to the presence of chronic inflammation. One of the leading actresses in the allergic inflammatory process is the eosinophil granulocyte. READ MORE

  5. 3. The role of granulocyte antibodies in monocyte and granulocyte activation

    Author : Agneta Wikman; Karolinska Institutet; Karolinska Institutet; []
    Keywords : ANCA; adhesion molecules; CD11b; CD62L; granulocyte antibodies; granulocytes; monocytes; systemic vasculitis;

    Abstract : Granulocytes and monocytes are important cells during the first phase of inflammation. They are activated and recruited from the blood vessels to inflammatory sites via the regulation of receptors involved in adhesion to endothelium. READ MORE

  6. 4. PACAP and airway regulation with special reference to smooth muscle and neutrophils

    Author : Johan Kinhult; Malmö Institutionen för kliniska vetenskaper; []
    Keywords : MEDICIN OCH HÄLSOVETENSKAP; MEDICAL AND HEALTH SCIENCES; audiology; auditive system and speech; Otorinolaryngologi; audiologi; hörsel- och talorganen; Otorhinolaryngology; allergy; neutrophils; smooth muscle; PACAP; airway regulation;

    Abstract : The investigations focus on the neuropeptidepituitary adenylate cyclase-activating peptide and its effects on airway regulation, with emphasis on smooth muscle relaxation and neutrophil activation and migration. In the nasal mucosa, PACAP-containing nerve fibers were localized invascular smooth muscle and close to seromucous glands. READ MORE

  7. 5. The ontogeny and function of intestinal dendritic cells

    Author : Emma Persson; Slemhinnans immunologi; []
    Keywords : MEDICIN OCH HÄLSOVETENSKAP; MEDICAL AND HEALTH SCIENCES; Mesenteric lymph nodes; Intestine; Dendritic cells; Gut-homing; Th17 cells; Oral tolerance; Immunity;

    Abstract : The intestinal mucosa presents a huge surface area to the external environment and the intestinal immune system is continually exposed to a wide array of foreign antigens derived from resident intestinal microbiota as well as dietary constituents, including food proteins. In order to maintain intestinal homeostasis, the intestinal immune system relies on the ability to generate tolerogenic responses to innocuous antigen while maintaining the ability to develop effective immune responses to intesinal pathogens.
