  2. 1. Maturation of humoral immune responses : Studies on the effects of antigen type, apoptosis and age

    Author : Karin Lindroth; Carmen Fernández; Kenneth G.C. Smith; Stockholms universitet; []
    Keywords : MEDICIN OCH HÄLSOVETENSKAP; MEDICAL AND HEALTH SCIENCES; immunology; B cell; humoral immune response; Immunology; Immunologi;

    Abstract : The humoral immune response is dependent on the formation of antibodies. Antibodies are produced by terminally differentiated B cells, plasma cells. Plasma cells are generated either directly from antigen challenged B cells, memory cells or from cells that have undergone the germinal center (GC) reaction. READ MORE

  4. 2. Immune Changes in Pregnancy : A Survey of some Immunological Variables in Normal and Complicated Pregnancies

    Author : Leif Skamris Matthiesen; Linköpings universitet; []
    Keywords : MEDICINE; MEDICIN;

    Abstract : The maternal systemic immune response during pregnancy is only fragmentarily understood. An adequate immune response to the gestational product is of vital importance for a successful pregnancy. READ MORE

  6. 4. Commensal microbes, immune reactivity and childhood inflammatory bowel disease

    Author : Cecilia Barkman; Göteborgs universitet; []
    Keywords : Inflammatory bowel disease; IBD; Pediatric; Childhood; Microbiota; T cells; B cells; cytokine; IL-12; monocytes; phagocytosis; intracellular signaling pathway; Crohn s disease; ulcerative colitis; children; flora;

    Abstract : Inflammatory bowel disease (IBD) is characterized by chronic and relapsing intestinal inflammation of unknown etiology, but immune activation by the commensal microbiota probably plays a major role. The two major categories of IBD are ulcerative colitis and Crohn’s disease. READ MORE

  7. 5. Studies of in vivo prostate amyloidosis and autoimmune responses towards amyloid structures in neurodegeneration

    Author : Kiran Yanamandra; Ludmilla Morozova-Roche; Dina Raveh; Umeå universitet; []
    Keywords : MEDICIN OCH HÄLSOVETENSKAP; MEDICAL AND HEALTH SCIENCES; amyloid; amyloidosis; immune reactivity; S100A8 A9; insulin; α-synuclein; Biochemistry; Biokemi; medicinsk biokemi; Medical Biochemistry;

    Abstract : By using multidisciplinary analysis of CA inclusions in prostate glands of patients diagnosed with prostate cancer, we have revealed that their major components are the amyloid forms of S100A8 and S100A9 proteins associated with numerous inflammatory conditions and types of cancer. We have demonstrated that material closely resembling CA can be produced from S100A8/A9 in vitro and shows the characters of amyloids. READ MORE
