  2. 21. Chronic immune activation and lymphocyte apoptosis during HIV-1 infection

    Author : Nicolas Ruffin; Karolinska Institutet; Karolinska Institutet; []
    Keywords : ;

    Abstract : HIV-1 infected individuals are subject to a chronic immune activation resulting from HIV-1 replication, microbial translocation, and lymphopenia. Despite the great advance of antiretroviral treatment (ART), the immune activation remains associated with poor immune reconstitution during HIV-1 infection. READ MORE

  4. 22. Inflammation and ischemia in the developing brain - modifying effects of hyperoxia and adrenoceptor activation

    Author : Tina Markus; Lund Pediatrik; []
    Keywords : MEDICIN OCH HÄLSOVETENSKAP; MEDICAL AND HEALTH SCIENCES; adrenergic; preconditioning; excitotoxicity; tissue culture; hyperoxia; resuscitation; asphyxia; sensitization; TNF-alpha; inflammatory mediators; hippocampus; neonate;

    Abstract : Inflammation and ischemia are common causes of perinatal brain damage. Ventilation with pure oxygen has previously been the prime choice during resuscitation following fetal asphyxia. READ MORE

  5. 23. Signal transduction in human phagocytic cells during phagocytosis, oxidative activation and apoptosis

    Author : Maria Forsberg; Emmanuelle Caron; Linköpings universitet; []
    Keywords : MEDICINE; MEDICIN;

    Abstract : Neutrophils and macrophages are professional phagocytic cells that play a crucial role in host defense against invading microorganisms. They bind to, internalize, and subsequently kill microbes with an arsenal of reactive oxygen metabolites and microbicidal agents. READ MORE

  6. 24. In vitro studies on the potential immunosuppressive and antitumor effects of antidepressants : induction of apoptosis in human T-cells and a myeloid leukemia cell line

    Author : Zhenlei Xia; Tom Cotter; Stockholms universitet; []
    Keywords : NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; biokemi; Biochemistry;

    Abstract : Antidepressants are widely used in treating depressive disorders. It has been demonstrated that several components of the immune system may be activated in the acute clinical stage of major depression and that such activation may play a role in the onset of depressive symptoms.

  7. 25. Immunogenicity of and apoptosis modulation by Epstein-Barr virus (EBV)-encoded latent membrane protein-1 (LMP1) : implications for nasopharyngeal carcinoma

    Author : Xiangning Zhang; Karolinska Institutet; Karolinska Institutet; []
    Keywords : ;

    Abstract : Epstein-Barr virus (EBV) is a ubiquitous human herpesvirus which infects more than 90% of individuals in the population, and has been shown to be associated with a variety of human tumors. The viral genome encodes a number of transforming proteins which enable the virus to efficiently immortalize B lymphocyte and also transform cells of other types. READ MORE
