  2. 1. 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

  4. 2. Characterisation of eosinophil activity markers : relation to allergic inflammation and apoptosis

    Author : Anna Nopp; Karolinska Institutet; Karolinska Institutet; []
    Keywords : ;

    Abstract : An allergic inflammation is characterised by many different factors, among which eosinophils and the release of their granule content e.g. eosinophilic cationic protein (ECP) constitute main features. READ MORE

  5. 3. The contribution of eosinophils and mediators in allergic inflammation

    Author : Annika Roquet; Karolinska Institutet; Karolinska Institutet; []
    Keywords : allergic inflammation; eosinophils; bronchial hyperresponsiveness; histamine; leukotrienes; antihistamine; leukotriene-antagonist; low-dose challenge;

    Abstract : The aim of the present work was to investigate the development of allergic inflammation. For this purpose human experimental challenge models in skin, nose and bronchi were used as well as pharmacological interventions. A variety of inflammatory cells and mediators have been suggested as important in the pathogenesis of allergic inflammation. READ MORE

  6. 4. Regulation of cytokine receptors and activity markers in eosinophilic inflammatory processes

    Author : Cecilia Hellman; Karolinska Institutet; Karolinska Institutet; []
    Keywords : ;

    Abstract : The eosinophil is an important effector cell in allergic inflammation and asthma and an increased number of eosinophils and eosinophil-derived cytotoxic proteins have been found in blood and airways of allergic patients. The life cycle of the eosinophil starts with differentiation of bone marrow progenitor cells. READ MORE
