  2. 16. Antibody Feedback Regulation : From Epitope Masking to T Helper Cell Activation

    Author : Andrew Getahun; Birgitta Heyman; Hans-Gustaf Ljunggren; Daniel Conrad; Uppsala universitet; []
    Keywords : MEDICIN OCH HÄLSOVETENSKAP; MEDICAL AND HEALTH SCIENCES; Immunology; Immune regulation; B cells; T cells; Antibodies; Fc Receptors; Antigen presentation; Transgenic Knockout Mice; Immunologi; Immunology; Immunologi;

    Abstract : Antibodies have the ability to influence the antibody response against the very antigen they are specific for, in a process called antibody feedback regulation. Depending on the nature of the antigen, the antibody response can be either enhanced or almost completely inhibited. READ MORE

  4. 17. Immunoglobulin-binding bacterial surface proteins; biomedical tools and virulence factors

    Author : Britt-Marie Kihlberg; Infektionsmedicin; []
    Keywords : MEDICIN OCH HÄLSOVETENSKAP; MEDICAL AND HEALTH SCIENCES; Phagocytosis; M-like protein; M protein; Protein L; Protein G; Ig-binding; Streptococcus pyogenes; Fc Receptors; mykologi; virologi; bakteriologi; Mikrobiologi; mycology; virology; bacteriology; Microbiology; Cysteine proteinase; Streptolysin;

    Abstract : Many bacteria express immunoglobulin(Ig)-binding proteins that interact with Ig in a non-immune manner. Several of these Ig-binding bacterial proteins have been well characterized and are widely used as reagents for analysis and purification of Ig's. READ MORE

  5. 18. B cells in Autoimmunity : Studies of Complement Receptor 1 & 2 and FcγRIIb in Autoimmune Arthritis

    Author : Kajsa Prokopec; Sandra Kleinau; Anna Erdei; Uppsala universitet; []
    Keywords : MEDICIN OCH HÄLSOVETENSKAP; MEDICAL AND HEALTH SCIENCES; B cells; complement receptors; fc gamma receptor IIb; autoimmune arthritis; rheumatoid arthritis; Immunology; Immunologi;

    Abstract : B cells are normally regulated to prevent activation against self-proteins through tolerance mechanisms.  However, occasionally there is a break in tolerance and B cells can become self-reactive, which might lead to the development of autoimmune disease. READ MORE

  6. 19. The B lymphocyte in Staphylococcus aureus arthritis

    Author : Inger Gjertsson; Göteborgs universitet; []
    Keywords : Staphylococcus aureus; mice; arthritis; sepsis; B cells; Fcg receptors; CD22; ; IL-4; IL-10; IFN-g.;

    Abstract : Joint infection caused by Staphylococcus aureus leads to heavy synovitis and rapid destruction of bone and cartilage. Permanent loss of joint function is seen in 20-50% of the patients, despite early eradication of the bacteria with antibiotics. READ MORE

  7. 20. Platelets in inflammation : Role of complement protein C1q, C-reactive proteinand toll-like receptors

    Author : Caroline Skoglund; Torbjörn Bengtsson; Jonas Wetterö; Pentti Tengvall; David Erlinge; Linköpings universitet; []
    Keywords : MEDICINE; MEDICIN;

    Abstract : Platelets are proven essential in haemostasis, however, they are now also increasingly recognized as cells with important immunomodulatory properties, e.g. through interaction with leukocytes and several species of bacteria and by release inflammatory mediators upon activation.
