    Keywords : Trypanosoma brucei; Cytokines; Chemokines; IFN-gamma; Transcription factors;

    Abstract : African Trypanosomiasis is a disease prevalent among humans and animals in tropical Africa which is caused by the extracellular hemoflagellate Trypanosoma brucei (T. b.). READ MORE

  5. 8. Interferons in immunity to chlamydia pneumoniae

    Author : Antonio Carlos Gigliotti (Tony) Rothfuchs; Karolinska Institutet; Karolinska Institutet; []
    Keywords : Chlamydia pneumoniae; TLR; IFN-alpha beta; IFN-gamma; macrophages; T cells;

    Abstract : The cytokine IFN-gamma is the architect behind an amazing immunological program of host resistance to intracellular bacterial and protozoan infections. IFN-gamma activates macrophages, making them into inhospitable habitats for parasites attempting to grow inside them. READ MORE

  6. 9. Prion processing and propagation in neuronal and dendritic cell culture models

    Author : Katarina M Luhr; Karolinska Institutet; Karolinska Institutet; []
    Keywords : Prion; scrapie; cathepsin; processing; IFN-gamma; DRG; dendritic cell; cytokine;

    Abstract : Prion diseases are rare neurodegenerative diseases, associated with a conversion of a normal cellular protein, PrPC, into its misfolded and partial protease resistant isoform, PrPSc. These diseases affect both animals and humans and are unique since they can not only be genetic and sporadic, but also transmissible. READ MORE

    Keywords : TLTF; anti-TLTF antibodies; IFN-gamma; Human African trypanosomiasis; T b. brucei; ;

    Abstract : African trypanosomiasis or sleeping sickness is a disease of tropical Africa caused by the unicellular-flagellated protozoan parasite, Trypanosoma brucei (T b.), which is transmitted by its insect vector, the tsetse fly. In humans, there are two forms of the disease: a chronic form in West and Central Africa, caused by T. b. READ MORE
