  2. 1. Antibody Feedback Regulation and T Cells

    Author : Fredrik Carlsson; Birgitta Heyman; Alf Grandien; Uppsala universitet; []
    Keywords : MEDICIN OCH HÄLSOVETENSKAP; MEDICAL AND HEALTH SCIENCES; Fc receptors; B cell; T cell; antigen presentation; complement receptors; complement; IgE; IgG3; CD23; antibody; Immunology; Immunologi;

    Abstract : Antibodies, passively administered or actively produced, regulate immune responses to the antigen they recognize. This phenomenon is called antibody-mediated feedback regulation. Feedback regulation can be positive or negative, resulting in >1000-fold enhancement or >99% suppression of the specific antibody response. READ MORE

  4. 2. Early Immunostimulatory Effects of IgE- and IgG Antibodies

    Author : Fredrik Hjelm; Birgitta Heyman; Sandra Kleinau; Robert Harris; Uppsala universitet; []
    Keywords : Immunology; Antibodies; Fc receptors; Antigen presentation; B cells; T cells; Immunologi;

    Abstract : Antibodies have the ability to influence their own production in a process called antibody feedback regulation. Depending on the type of antigen and the subclass of the antibody, the outcome of feedback regulation can be complete suppression or several hundred-fold enhancement of the antibody response.

  5. 3. Modulation of B cell access to antigen by passively administered antibodies : an explanation for antibody feedback regulation?

    Author : Hui Xu; Birgitta Heyman; Helena Harris; Uppsala universitet; []
    Keywords : NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; MEDICIN OCH HÄLSOVETENSKAP; MEDICAL AND HEALTH SCIENCES; IgG; IgG3; IgE; suppression; enhancement; epitope masking; antigen transport; antigen presentation; follicular B cells; marginal zone B cells; Immunologi; Immunology;

    Abstract : Antibody responses can be up- or down-regulated by passive administration of specific antibody together with antigen. Depending on the structure of the antigen and the antibody isotype, responses can be completely suppressed or enhanced up to a 1000-fold of what is seen in animals immunized with antigen alone.

  6. 4. Why Is It So Hard to Kill a Mast Cell?A Study of Mast Cell Activation and Survival

    Author : Xiang Zou; Uppsala universitet; []
    Keywords : MEDICIN OCH HÄLSOVETENSKAP; MEDICAL AND HEALTH SCIENCES; Genetics; A1; allergy; apoptosis; Bfl-1; degranulation; FcepsilonRI; IgE; inflammation; mast cells; nerve growth factor; regranulation; TrkA; Genetik; Clinical genetics; Klinisk genetik; Pathology; patologi;

    Abstract : Mast cells have a long life in tissues, where they are involved in inflammatory and hypersensitivity reactions. Activation through cross-linking of the high-affinity IgE-receptor (FcεRI) is a primary stimulus capable of degranulating mast cells, contributing to symptoms of allergy. READ MORE

  7. 5. Mast Cell Progenitor Trafficking in Allergic Airway Inflammation

    Author : Joakim Dahlin; Jenny Hallgren; Hans-Reimer Rodewald; Uppsala universitet; []
    Keywords : NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; Mast cells; mast cell progenitors; allergy; asthma; allergic airway inflammation; IgE; lung; CD11c;

    Abstract : Mast cell progenitors originate from the bone marrow and migrate to the lungs via the blood. During maturation, these cells acquire granules that contain a potent array of bronchoconstrictive mediators. READ MORE
