  4. 2. Studies of high mobility group chromosomal protein 1 as a pro-inflammatory cytokine

    Author : Gail E Mullins; Karolinska Institutet; Karolinska Institutet; []
    Keywords : HMGB1; endothelial cells; pro-inflammatory; cytokine; RAGE;

    Abstract : High mobility group box chromosomal protein 1 (HMGB 1) is a nuclear protein recently recognised as a pro-inflammatory cytokine with implications both in acute and in chronic inflammation. HMGB1 has been reported to act as a late mediator of septic shock in mice. READ MORE

  5. 3. Pathogen-mediated selection in the immune system of rodents : Exploring selection targets, functional effects and trade-offs

    Author : Mridula Nandakumar; Funktionell zoologi; []
    Keywords : NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; pathogen-mediated selection; bank voles; Myodes glareolus; immune system; balancing selection; immune response; rodents; positive selection; transcriptomics;

    Abstract : Pathogens cause disease and play an important role in shaping evolution of the host immune system. They create pressure on host immunity to evolve in numerous ways, most commonly by increasing divergence between species (positive selection) or increasing polymorphisms within a population (balancing selection).

  6. 4. Microbial and maternal influences on allergic sensitization during childhood: defining a role for monocytes

    Author : Shanie Saghafian Hedengren; Eva Sverremark-Ekström; Susan Prescott; Stockholms universitet; []

    Abstract : Allergic diseases are influenced by genetics and the environment. Maternal allergy appears to confer a higher risk for allergic sensitization than paternal allergy, suggesting an in utero influence. READ MORE

  7. 5. Occupational exposure alters innate and adaptive immune responses

    Author : Karin Sahlander; Karolinska Institutet; Karolinska Institutet; []
    Keywords : ;

    Abstract : The farming environment is contaminated with high levels of organic dust. Especially pig barn facilities are highly polluted with airborne inhalable organic dust containing high amounts of molecular patterns from bacteria and fungi known to activate cells of the innate immunity through pattern recognition receptors (PRRs).
