  2. 1. Cholera toxin B subunit as a carrier for inducing mucosal immunity and/or peripheral tolerance

    Author : Carola Rask; Göteborgs universitet; []
    Keywords : MEDICIN OCH HÄLSOVETENSKAP; MEDICAL AND HEALTH SCIENCES; Mucosal immunity; tolerance; atopic allergy; cholera toxin B subunit; antibody response; IgE;

    Abstract : When an antigen is introduced via a mucosal route, either immunity or tolerance, or even both may be induced. Both immunity and tolerance are actively induced phenomena and both of them could have important medical implications as well as potential prophylactic or therapeutic applications. READ MORE

  4. 2. Biosynthesis of leukotriene B4 in hematological malignancies

    Author : Gudmundur Runarsson; Karolinska Institutet; Karolinska Institutet; []
    Keywords : LTB 4; 5-LO; cPLA 2; iPLA 2; AML; B-ALL; B-CLL;

    Abstract : Leukotrienes (LT) are biologically active metabolites of the fatty acid arachidonic acid (AA). After liberation of AA by phospholipase A 2 (PLA 2), this fatty acid can be converted to leukotrienes, lipoxins, prostaglandins or thromboxane. The conversion of AA to LTA 4 is catalyzed by five-lipoxygenase (5-LO). READ MORE

  5. 3. Genetic diversity of the heat labile (LT) and heat stable (ST) toxins of human enterotoxigenic Escherichia coli (ETEC): New insights into polymorphism, regulation, and gene transcription
