  2. 1. Haematopoietic Serine Proteases : A Cleavage Specificity Analysis

    Author : Michael Thorpe; Lars Hellman; Urban Gullberg; Uppsala universitet; []
    Keywords : NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; Mast cell; cleavage specificity; phage display; chymase; serine protease; granzyme; fish protease;

    Abstract : Mast cells are innate immune cells, historically involved in allergy responses involving IgE. Through this, they have earned a reputation as a fairly detrimental cell type. Their beneficial roles remain somewhat enigmatic although they clearly have the ability to modulate the immune system. READ MORE

  4. 2. The immunoglobulin genes in an Actinopterygian fish, the Siberian sturgeon (Acipenser baeri)

    Author : Mats Lundqvist; Uppsala universitet; []
    Keywords : NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; Cell and molecular biology; Immunoglobulin genes; gene organization; transmembrane TM ; comparative immunology; Siberian sturgeon Acipenser baerii ; Cell- och molekylärbiologi; Cell and molecular biology; Cell- och molekylärbiologi; Molecular Immunology; molekylär immunologi;

    Abstract : Characterization of the immunoglobulin (Ig) light (L) and heavy (H) chain genes from the Siberiansturgeon, Acipenser baeri, revealed an Ig structure simhar to the IgM elass of mammals. The serumforms of the sturgeon Ig are tetrameric and dimeric. READ MORE

  5. 3. Studies of immunoglobulin light chains in rainbow trout (Oncorhynchus mykiss): new insight into the evolution of immunoglobulin genes

    Author : Sirje Timmusk; Greg Warr; Uppsala universitet; []
    Keywords : NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; Cell and molecular biology; Immunoglobulin genes; gene organization; evolution; comparative immunology; promoter; rainbow trout Oncorhynchus mykiss ; Cell- och molekylärbiologi; Cell and molecular biology; Cell- och molekylärbiologi; molekylär immunologi; Molecular Immunology;

    Abstract : In this thesis, the structure and the expression of immunoglobulin (Ig) light chain genes were studied in rainbow trout and including an evolutionary perspective. A novel Ig light chain locus (IgL2) was identified and characterized. READ MORE
