  2. 1. Murine B lymphocyte growth regulation : a study of host defence factors and their mimicry by Mycoplasma arginini

    Author : Erik Ruuth; Umeå universitet; []
    Keywords : MEDICIN OCH HÄLSOVETENSKAP; MEDICAL AND HEALTH SCIENCES; B lymphocyte; growth; lymphokine; lymphokine-like; host-parasite; M. arginini; membrane acyl protein;

    Abstract : Immune responses are the result of extended clonal growth and maturation of specific precursors preexisting in low frequencies. Clonal expansion is partly controlled by soluble factors, thus, their identification is essential for the understanding of the immune response regulation. READ MORE

  5. 3. The B lymphocyte in Staphylococcus aureus arthritis

    Author : Inger Gjertsson; Göteborgs universitet; []
    Keywords : Staphylococcus aureus; mice; arthritis; sepsis; B cells; Fcg receptors; CD22; ; IL-4; IL-10; IFN-g.;

    Abstract : Joint infection caused by Staphylococcus aureus leads to heavy synovitis and rapid destruction of bone and cartilage. Permanent loss of joint function is seen in 20-50% of the patients, despite early eradication of the bacteria with antibiotics. READ MORE

  6. 4. Molecular dissection of B-lymphocyte signalling using expression profiling

    Author : Jessica M Lindvall; Karolinska Institutet; Karolinska Institutet; []
    Keywords : Btk; B-lymphocyte; gene expression profiling; signal transduction;

    Abstract : Gene expression profiling and bioinformatics have emerged into playing a large and diverse role in many aspects of both the clinical and molecular research. These two approaches have in this thesis work been used in combination in order to shed light to the role of Bruton's tyrosine kinase (Btk) in B-lymphocyte development and signal transduction.

  7. 5. T cell dependent B lymphocyte activation, growth and maturation : the role of lymphokines

    Author : Sven Pettersson; Umeå universitet; []
    Keywords : MEDICIN OCH HÄLSOVETENSKAP; MEDICAL AND HEALTH SCIENCES; TH cell activated B- cell growth maturation B-cell growth factor BSF-pI B-cel1 maturation factor s BMA neonatal B-cell prol iferation anti body secretion;

    Abstract : The present work concerns the regulation of B cell activation, growth and terminal differentiation of helper T cells.T cell dependent (TD) B cell activation requires physical cell to cell contact between competent helper T cells (TH) and B cells and the recognition of MHC Class II antigens.
