  2. 1. Acoustofluidic preparation of whole blood components

    Author : Anke Urbansky; NanoLund: Centre for Nanoscience; []
    Keywords : MEDICIN OCH HÄLSOVETENSKAP; MEDICAL AND HEALTH SCIENCES; NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; acoustophoresis; ultrasound; microfluidics; cell separation; blood; blood fractionation;

    Abstract : Whole blood is rich in information about the physical state of an individual and is routinely used in a variety of clinical and research applications. In this thesis, the use of a microfluidic technique called acoustophoresis for separation of different blood components is explored. READ MORE

  4. 2. Immune defense reactions in freshwater crayfish : Cellular components

    Author : Charlotta Ekblom; Irene Söderhäll; Kallaya Sritunyalucksana-Dangtip; Uppsala universitet; []
    Keywords : NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; crustaceans; hemocytes; immunity; crayfish; proteomics; transcriptomics; Biology with specialization in Comparative Physiology; Biologi med inriktning mot jämförande fysiologi;

    Abstract : The freshwater signal crayfish, Pacifastacus leniusculus, is a well-established model for studying the immune system of invertebrates. Many important discoveries have been made in this species, among others related to the clotting reaction, hematopoiesis, the prophenoloxidase activating system, the functions of crustacean immune cells, and pathogen recognition.

  5. 3. Optimisation of diagnostic PCR a study of PCR inhibitors in blood and sample pretreatment

    Author : Waleed Abu Al-Soud; Avdelningen för medicinsk mikrobiologi; []
    Keywords : TEKNIK OCH TEKNOLOGIER; ENGINEERING AND TECHNOLOGY; mycology; virology; bacteriology; Microbiology; AmpliTaq Gold; Amplification facilitators; Betaine; Blood culture medium; Blood; BSA; cheese; faeces; gp32; Haemoglobin; Ions; Immunoglobulin G; Mikrobiologi; bakteriologi; virologi; mykologi;

    Abstract : PCR is widely employed as a rapid, sensitive and specific molecular diagnostic technique in clinical diagnosis, environmental investigations and for monitoring biotechnical processes. However, the full potential of diagnostic PCR is limited, in part, by the presence of PCR-inhibitory substances in biological samples. READ MORE

  6. 4. Reign in Blood : Immune Regulation in Type 1 Diabetes

    Author : Mikael Pihl; Rosaura Casas; Johnny Ludvigsson; Marianne Quiding-Järbrink; Linköpings universitet; []
    Keywords : ;

    Abstract : Type 1 Diabetes (T1D) is an autoimmune disease resulting in insulin deficiency as a result ofautoimmune destruction of pancreatic β-cells. Preserving β-cell function in patients with T1D would be of great benefit since patients with sustained endogenous insulin secretion are known to suffer less from secondary complications due to hyperglycemia.

  7. 5. Preoperative deposit of autologous blood. Effects on inflammatory mediators

    Author : Monica Hyllner; Göteborgs universitet; []
    Keywords : MEDICIN OCH HÄLSOVETENSKAP; MEDICAL AND HEALTH SCIENCES; MEDICIN OCH HÄLSOVETENSKAP; MEDICAL AND HEALTH SCIENCES; allogeneic; autologous; complement; cytokines; blood storage; erythropoiesis; hysterectomy; plasma; prestorage leucocyte filtration; rHuEPO; whole blood.;

    Abstract : Blood contains complex cascade systems and substances that can be activated during the processing of blood components and storage. Allogeneic blood, i.e. blood from someone else, is normally separated into components before storage and transfusion, while autologous blood (the patient s own blood) often is used as whole blood.
