  2. 16. Experimental studies on barriers of the esophageal mucosa

    Author : Nadereh Poorkhalkali; Göteborgs universitet; []
    Keywords : MEDICIN OCH HÄLSOVETENSKAP; MEDICAL AND HEALTH SCIENCES; Esophagus; gastroesophageal reflux disease; glycoconjugates; lectins; esophagitis; basal cell hyperplasia; metaplasia; gastrin; cell kinetics;

    Abstract : Reflux esophagitis is the multifactorial result of the failing of protective barriers and the aggressive assault on the esophageal epithelium by gastric contents entering the esophagus. The three main lines of defense against reflux are: the antireflux barriers, the luminal acid clearance and the epithelium itself. READ MORE

  4. 17. Studies of recombinant forms of Aleuria aurantia lectin

    Author : Johan Olausson; Peter Påhlsson; Peter Konradsson; Anders Larsson; Linköpings universitet; []
    Keywords : MEDICIN OCH HÄLSOVETENSKAP; MEDICAL AND HEALTH SCIENCES; Molecular biology; Molekylärbiologi;

    Abstract : The presented work describes construction and analysis of recombinantly produced forms of Aleuria aurantia lectin (AAL). The binding properties of the produced AAL forms were studied using techniques such as tryptophan fluorescence, hemagglutination analysis, ELISA and surface plasmon resonance analysis. READ MORE

  5. 18. Galectin-8 specificity to cells: from broad outside to fine inside

    Author : Susanne Nordenfelt; immunologi och glykobiologi - MIG Avdelningen för mikrobiologi; []
    Keywords : MEDICIN OCH HÄLSOVETENSKAP; MEDICAL AND HEALTH SCIENCES; MEDICIN OCH HÄLSOVETENSKAP; MEDICAL AND HEALTH SCIENCES; Biomedical sciences; Biomedicinska vetenskaper; Intracellular targeting; Sialic acid; Galectin fine specificity;

    Abstract : Glycobiology is the world of sugars: how they are made, what they look like, and what they do. Despite the importance of glycan structures in life, knowledge has been hampered due to their inherent complexity. READ MORE

  6. 19. Connecting sialic acid expression to cancer cell characteristics : Novel tools for detection, imaging, and analysis

    Author : Louise Sternbæk; Anette Gjörloff Wingren; Kersti Alm; Birgit Janicke; Håkan Eriksson; Magnus Abrahamson; Malmö universitet; []
    Keywords : Molecularly imprinted polymers; digital holographic cytometry; cancer; cytotoxicity; inflammation; sialic acid; Health and society; Hälsa och samhälle;

    Abstract : Sialic acid (SA) plays a crucial role in many biological processes. Cell surface SA expression is usually analyzed with antibodies or lectins; however, they are costly and with poor stability. READ MORE

  7. 20. Surface analytical methods and multivariate data analysis applied to lectin panels

    Author : Jenny Carlsson; Linköpings universitet; []
    Keywords : NATURAL SCIENCES; NATURVETENSKAP;

    Abstract : In this thesis lectin panels on gold wafers were utilized to investigate sera from different mammals and meat juices from various species of animals. Lectins, which are a group of diverse, natural proteins recognize and bind to different carbohydrate structures present on the sera proteins and on the proteins in the different meat juices. READ MORE
