  2. 1. Inhibition of phagocyte signaling by the Yersinia virulence protein YopH

    Author : Kerstin Andersson; Kerstin Andersson; Linköpings universitet; []
    Keywords : MEDICINE; MEDICIN;

    Abstract : Yersinia pseudotuberculosis evades the immediate immune defense of a host organism by inhibiting bactericidal functions of phagocytes, including phagocytosis, cytokine release, and the oxidative burst. Consequently, this pathogen can survive and multiply in lymphatic tissues. An ensemble of proteins called Yops are involved in the virulence of Y. READ MORE

  4. 2. Immunological Studies using Human and Canine Model Disorders

    Author : Kerstin M. Ahlgren; Anna Lobell; Olle Kämpe; Kerstin Lindblad-Toh; Roland Jonsson; Uppsala universitet; []

    Keywords : MEDICIN OCH HÄLSOVETENSKAP; MEDICAL AND HEALTH SCIENCES; Secondary hyperparathyroidism; End-stage renal disease; Parathyroidectomy; New-onset diabetes after transplantation; Maintenance dialysis; Renal transplantation; Survival; Cardiovascular event; Hip fracture;

    Abstract : Background. Secondary hyperparathyroidism (sHPT) is characterized by over function of the parathyroid glands and disturbances in mineral metabolism as a result of renal failure. It is common among patients with end-stage renal disease (ESRD) and it often persists after successful renal transplantation. READ MORE
