  4. 17. Antibacterial peptides - key players in host defense at epithelial surfaces

    Author : Mette Eliasson; allergologi och palliativ medicin Lungmedicin; []
    Keywords : MEDICIN OCH HÄLSOVETENSKAP; MEDICAL AND HEALTH SCIENCES; MEDICIN OCH HÄLSOVETENSKAP; MEDICAL AND HEALTH SCIENCES; mucosa; epithelium; pharyngitis; Innate immunity; Streptococcus pyogenes; antibacterial peptides; IFN-gamma; CXCL9 MIG; chemokines;

    Abstract : Innate host defense mechanisms at epithelial surfaces are important to prevent bacterial invasion. Streptococcus pyogenes, group A streptococcus (GAS), has an affinity for epithelial cells and cause pharyngitis. During streptococcal pharyngitis, high concentrations of the chemokines CXCL9/MIG, CXCL10/IP-10, CXCL11/I-TAC were found in tonsil fluid. READ MORE

  5. 18. From 1p3 to PI3K - Studies of neuroblastoma

    Author : Susanne Fransson; Göteborgs universitet; []
    Keywords : MEDICIN OCH HÄLSOVETENSKAP; MEDICAL AND HEALTH SCIENCES; cancer; neuroblastoma; PI3K; PIK3CD; 1p36; alternative splicing; tumor; neural crest; mucosa; premalignant; tumor suppressor gene; oncogene; gene expression; epigenetics; splicing; signaling; akt; western blot; TaqMan; PIK3R1; p110H; p37H; p85; RAS;

    Abstract : Neuroblastoma (NB) is a tumor of the sympathetic nervous system and is the most common extra-cranial tumor of childhood, accounting for 7% of all pediatric malignancies. Despite recent advances in therapeutics, outcome is still fatal for patients with aggressive NB and side-effects of treatment are severe. READ MORE

  6. 19. Mechanisms of Escherichia coli induced transepithelial neutrophil migration

    Author : Gabriela Godaly; immunologi och glykobiologi - MIG Avdelningen för mikrobiologi; []
    Keywords : MEDICIN OCH HÄLSOVETENSKAP; MEDICAL AND HEALTH SCIENCES; MEDICIN OCH HÄLSOVETENSKAP; MEDICAL AND HEALTH SCIENCES; Microbiology; UTI; mucosa; cytokine receptors; inflammation; neutrophils; chemotaxis; bacteriology; virology; mycology; Mikrobiologi; bakteriologi; virologi; mykologi;

    Abstract : Mucosal infections trigger an inflammatory response that includes the secretion of cytokines and the recruitment of neutrophils to the infected site. This thesis describes studies examining the molecular mechanisms of neutrophil migration to sites of mucosal bacterial infection. Escherichia coli (E. READ MORE

  7. 20. Mechanisms of P fimbriae cell activation

    Author : Maria Hedlund; immunologi och glykobiologi - MIG Avdelningen för mikrobiologi; []
    Keywords : MEDICIN OCH HÄLSOVETENSKAP; MEDICAL AND HEALTH SCIENCES; MEDICIN OCH HÄLSOVETENSKAP; MEDICAL AND HEALTH SCIENCES; type 1 fimbriae; LPS; glycosphingolipids; ceramide; E. coli; P fimbriae; mucosa; cytokines; Microbiology; bacteriology; virology; mycology; Mikrobiologi; bakteriologi; virologi; mykologi;

    Abstract : Microbial attachment to host cells plays a central role in the induction of inflammatory responses and the production of the disease. Uropathogenic Gram negative bacteria carry surface lectins that specifically recognize oligosaccharide receptor epitopes expressed on glycolipids or glycoproteins. READ MORE
