  2. 1. Processing of TNF-receptors to soluble receptor forms in myeloid cells

    Author : Flemming Björnberg; Avdelningen för hematologi och transfusionsmedicin; []
    Keywords : MEDICIN OCH HÄLSOVETENSKAP; MEDICAL AND HEALTH SCIENCES; inflammation cytokine TNF receptor; extracellular fluids; Haematology; Hematologi; extracellulära vätskor;

    Abstract : TNF (Tumor Necrosis Factor) is a pro-inflammatory cytokine which binds to two cell surface receptors, TNF-R55 and TNF-R75. The receptors undergo proteolytic cleavage and release a fragment (soluble TNF-receptors or TNF-Binding Protein), TNF-R55-BP and TNF-R75-BP. Soluble TNF-receptors are able to bind and inactivate TNF.

  4. 2. Functional importance of estrogen receptors in the periodontium

    Author : Daniel Nebel; Malmö högskola; []
    Keywords : MEDICIN OCH HÄLSOVETENSKAP; MEDICAL AND HEALTH SCIENCES; Estrogen; Estrogen receptors; LPS; Periodontium; PDL cells; Gingival epithelial cells;

    Abstract : Östrogen är ett kvinnligt könshormon som även har andra effekter. Östrogen verkar i cellkärnan genom att binda till en östrogenreceptor (ER), som finns i två olika typer, ERα och ERβ. Parodontit (tandlossning) är en inflammationssjukdom som drabbar tandens fäste som svar på bakterier som normalt finns i munhålan. READ MORE

  5. 3. Proteinase 3 and Neutrophil Apoptosis in ANCA-Associated Systemic Vasculitis

    Author : Mohamed AbdGawad; Njurmedicin; []
    Keywords : MEDICIN OCH HÄLSOVETENSKAP; MEDICAL AND HEALTH SCIENCES; Wegener’s granulomatosis; anti-neutrophil cytoplasmic antibody ANCA . Proteinase 3 PR3 ; myeloperoxidase MPO . Flowcytometry FACS . Vasculitis.; microscopic polyangitis;

    Abstract : ANCA-Associated Systemic Vasculitis (AASV) is characterized by leukocytoclasis- dying neutrophils surrounding small blood vessels. Previous studies have shown increased plasma PR3 and increased proportion of neutrophils expressing plasma membrane-associated PR3 (mPR3+). READ MORE

  6. 4. Advances and Applications of Antibody Arrays - Proteomic Profiling of Pancreatic Disease

    Author : Anna Sandström Gerdtsson; Institutionen för immunteknologi; []
    Keywords : MEDICIN OCH HÄLSOVETENSKAP; MEDICAL AND HEALTH SCIENCES; Proteomics; affinity proteomics; antibody microarray; pancreatic cancer; pancreatitis; biomarker; immunosignature;

    Abstract : Recombinant antibody microarrays have advanced into indispensable tools for large-scale, high-throughput multiplexed serum proteomics. This thesis, based upon five original papers, deals with the development of an in-house designed antibody microarray platform, and its applications for serum profiling of pancreatic disease.
