  2. 1. Neutral proteases of rodent mast cells

    Author : Carolina Lunderius; Uppsala universitet; []
    Keywords : NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; Cell and molecular biology; Mast cell; serine protease; MMCP; RMCP; heparin; Cell- och molekylärbiologi; Cell and molecular biology; Cell- och molekylärbiologi; immunologi; Immunology;

    Abstract : Mast cells are important effector cells in general as well as in allergic inflammation andin the defence against helminthic parasites and bacteria. Two major populations, withdifferences in tissue distribution, have been identified; connective tissue mast cells andmucosal mast cells. READ MORE

  4. 2. Cutting Edge – Cleavage Specificity and Biochemical Characterization of Mast Cell Serine Proteases

    Author : Ulrika Karlson; Lars Hellman; Urban Gullberg; Uppsala universitet; []
    Keywords : NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; Biology; mast cell; serine protease; tryptase; chymase; substrate specificity; phage display; Biologi; Biology; Biologi; Molecular Immunology; molekylär immunologi;

    Abstract : It is well established that mast cells (MC) are key players in airway pathologies such as allergic asthma, but they are also known to contribute to host defense and tissue remodeling. MC serine proteases are the major protein components of mast cell granules and accordingly, are most likely involved in many aspects of MC function. READ MORE

  5. 3. Chymotrypsin/trypsin-related serine proteases : A structural, functional and evolutionary analysis

    Author : Maryam Poorafshar; Uppsala universitet; []
    Keywords : MEDICIN OCH HÄLSOVETENSKAP; MEDICAL AND HEALTH SCIENCES; Biochemistry; serine proteases; proteoglycans; mast cells; basophils; Biokemi; Biochemistry; Biokemi; immunologi; Immunology;

    Abstract : Is life possible without proteolytic enzymes? Proteases participate in almost everyaspect of life and they can be found throughout the body and in every cell. Mast cells,together with basophils are, two important effector cells of the immune system. READ MORE

  6. 4. Acute inflammation in peritoneal dialysis. Experimental studies in rats. Characterization of regulatory mechanisms

    Author : Farhan Bazargani; Göteborgs universitet; []
    Keywords : MEDICIN OCH HÄLSOVETENSKAP; MEDICAL AND HEALTH SCIENCES; MEDICIN OCH HÄLSOVETENSKAP; MEDICAL AND HEALTH SCIENCES;

    Abstract : The predominant problems associated with peritoneal dialysis (PD) are ultrafiltration failure and peritonitis. PD maintains a state of intraperitoneal inflammation that affects the structure and function of the peritoneal membrane, potentially impairing ultrafiltration efficiency. READ MORE

  7. 5. Cleavage Specificity of Mast Cell Chymases

    Author : Mattias K. Andersson; Lars Hellman; Gunnar Pejler; Per Venge; Uppsala universitet; []
    Keywords : Biology; Immunology; Mast cell; Serine protease; Chymase; Cleavage specificity; Phage display; Biologi;

    Abstract : Mast cells (MC) are potent inflammatory cells that are known primarily for their prominent role in IgE mediated allergies. However, they also provide beneficial functions to the host, e.g. in bacterial and parasitic defence. READ MORE
