  2. 1. Adenosine Regulation of Neutrophil Function

    Author : Stefan Zalavary; Bertil Fredholm; Linköpings universitet; []
    Keywords : MEDICINE; MEDICIN;

    Abstract : The neutrophil granulocyte is an essential component of the human immune system. When rrricrobes invade the body, the highly motile neutrophils quickly leave the vascular compartment and approach, engulf and kill the intruders by releasing a battery of antimicrobial substances.

  4. 2. α1-acid glycoprotein modulates the function of human neutrophils and platelets

    Author : Peter Gunnarsson; Magnus Grenegård; Henrik Thorlacius; Linköpings universitet; []
    Keywords : MEDICINE; MEDICIN;

    Abstract : The acute-phase protein α1-acid glycoprotein (AGP; orosomucoid) was initially identified andcharacterised in the 1950s. The normal plasma concentration is around 0.5-1 mg/ml butduring inflammation the concentration increase several fold and the carbohydrate compositionof the protein changes. READ MORE

  5. 3. Leukocyte receptor alternations during systemic inflammatory responses

    Author : Olof Ljunghusen; Per Venge; Linköpings universitet; []
    Keywords : MEDICINE; MEDICIN;

    Abstract : The leukocyte adhesion molecule CD llb is very important when granulocytes and monocytes leave the blood stream. This adhesion molecule is stored preformed intracellularly, and can upon stimulation of the cells by, for example, complement split products, be mobilized to the cell surface. READ MORE

  6. 4. Inflammation and neutrophil recruitment in healing of colonic anastomosis

    Author : Peter Månsson; Kirurgi; []
    Keywords : MEDICIN OCH HÄLSOVETENSKAP; MEDICAL AND HEALTH SCIENCES; Surgery; experimetnal; anastomotic healing; Inflammation; neutrophil redruitment; orthopaedics; traumatology; Kirurgi; ortopedi; traumatologi;

    Abstract : Wound healing is a multistep process with an initial inflammatory response, followed by synthesis of extracellular matrix components and finalized by a repair phase. One main goal was to determine the impact and adhesive mechanisms of neutrophil recruitment in anastomotic healing in the colon. READ MORE

  7. 5. T-cell responses to Helicobacter pylori in humans and a possible role of regulatory T cells

    Author : Anna Lundgren; Göteborgs universitet; []
    Keywords : Helicobacter pylori; mucosal immunology; stomach; duodenum; asymptomatic; duodenal ulcer; gastric adenocarcinoma; T cells; regulatory T cells; dendritic cells; T-cell recruitment;

    Abstract : Helicobacter pylori colonize the stomach and areas of gastric metaplasia in the duodenum. The bacteria induce both local and systemic immune responses, but despite this, the infection normally persists for life and causes chronic gastritis in all infected subjects and peptic ulcers or gastric cancer in 10-20% of infected individuals.
