  2. 21. 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

  4. 22. On airway host defence during allergic inflammation

    Author : Anele Gela; allergologi och palliativ medicin Lungmedicin; []
    Keywords : Asthma; COPD; Antimicrobial peptide; chemokines; immunology;

    Abstract : Asthma is a chronic inflammatory disease of the airways, affecting and disablingapproximately 300 million people worldwide. The inflammatory profile ischaracterized by infiltration of eosinophils, which are a rich source of factors thatare implicated in tissue remodeling. READ MORE

    Abstract : Allergic airway disease, i.e. allergic rhinitis (AR) and asthma, is a common health problem. The prevalence is increasing in most countries of the world. READ MORE

  6. 24. Immunocytochemical studies of cutaneous nerves in human normal and prurigo nodularis skin

    Author : Yong Liang; Karolinska Institutet; Karolinska Institutet; []
    Keywords : Axon; CGRP; ECP; EDN EPX; eosinophil; histamine; HLA-DR; immunoelectron microscopy; Langerhans cell; mast cell; NSE; nerve fiber; p75 NGFr; PGP 9.5; prurigo nodularis; S-100; Schwann cell;

    Abstract : Cutaneous nerves may regulate the immune system and be involved in inflammatory events of the skin. Prurigo nodularis is a skin disease which histologically reveals a massive neural hyperplasia and a local inflammation in the lesional skin. READ MORE

  7. 25. Peripheral Regulation of Pain and Itch

    Author : Elín Ingibjörg Magnúsdóttir; Malin C. Lagerström; George H. Caughey; Uppsala universitet; []
    Keywords : MEDICIN OCH HÄLSOVETENSKAP; MEDICAL AND HEALTH SCIENCES; Pain; itch; CGRP; TRPV1; mast cell; mast cell protease; mMCP4; mMCP6; CPA3; endothelin-1; compound 48 80; MRGPRX2; single-stranded oligonucleotide;

    Abstract : Pain and itch are diverse sensory modalities, transmitted by the somatosensory nervous system. Stimuli such as heat, cold, mechanical pain and itch can be transmitted by different neuronal populations, which show considerable overlap with regards to sensory activation. READ MORE
