  2. 1. Endogenous Retroviral RNA Expression in Humans

    Author : Lijuan Hu; Jonas Blomberg; Göran Friman; Francois Mallet; Uppsala universitet; []
    Keywords : Microbiology; Human endogenous retrovirus HERV ; HERVE; HERVW; betaretrovirus; gammaretrovirus; RNA expression; real time PCR; endometrium; endometriosis; brain tissue; reproductive tissue; ovarian cancer; ovary; neuroblastoma cell line; Mikrobiologi;

    Abstract : Human endogenous retroviruses (HERVs) constitute about 8% of the human genome. There are around 4000 pol-containing retroviral integrations in the human genome, which makes it impractical to measure each of them separately. READ MORE

  4. 2. The Significance of IgG Antibodies against Tissue Transglutaminase in Coeliac Disease

    Author : Ingrid Dahlbom; Birgitta Heyman; Tony Hansson; Knut Lundin; Uppsala universitet; []
    Keywords : Immunology; Coeliac disease; Tissue transglutaminase; Endomysium; IgG antibodies; Immunologi;

    Abstract : Coeliac disease (CD) is a multifactorial disease of the small intestine. In genetically predisposed individuals the, ingestion of cereals leads to a remodulation of the mucosal architecture, and the production of autoantibodies against tissue transglutaminase (tTG). The treatment is a lifelong gluten-free diet. READ MORE

  5. 3. Nitric oxide donors in labor management

    Author : Maria Bullarbo; Göteborgs universitet; []
    Keywords : cervical ripening; labor induction; nitric oxide donor; retained placenta;

    Abstract : ABSTRACT Nitric oxide donors in labor management Maria Bullarbo Department of Obstetrics and Gynecology Institute of Clinical Sciences Background: Nitric oxide (NO), a free radical with ultra-short half-life synthesized from L- arginine by the enzyme nitric oxide synthase (NOS), is in the human involved in many physiological and pathophysiological processes, including different reproductive processes. During pregnancy NO is produced endogenously in the human uterine cervix and placenta. READ MORE

  6. 4. Immune dysregulation in HIV-1 infected lymphoid tissue

    Author : Homira Behbahani; Karolinska Institutet; Karolinska Institutet; []
    Keywords : HIV-1; HAART; cytokines; chemokines; lymphoid tissue; perforin; Nef; LIF; placenta; chemokine receptor;

    Abstract : Lymphoid compartments are major sites for HIV-1 replication. We evaluated cytokines, chemokines and immunological effector function at the single cell level in lymphoid tissues in chronically HIV-1 infected patients. READ MORE

  7. 5. Autoantibodies in healthy blood donors, rheumatic and autoimmune liver diseases

    Author : Awais Ahmad; Christopher Sjöwall; Charlotte Dahle; Stergios Kechagias; Marco W.J. Schreuers; Linköpings universitet; []
    Keywords : MEDICIN OCH HÄLSOVETENSKAP; MEDICAL AND HEALTH SCIENCES;

    Abstract : Autoimmunity is a common phenomenon where the immune system recognises the body's own tissues. Autoimmunity can lead to disease if tissue damage occurs. Autoimmune diseases affect 5–10% of the global population and in many of these autoantibodies can be detected. The autoantibodies can be detected with several different methods. READ MORE
