  2. 1. Eosinophil Cationic Protein : Expression Levels and Polymorphisms

    Author : Jonas Byström; Helene Rosenberg; Uppsala universitet; []
    Keywords : Medical sciences; Eosinophils; Neutrophils; Monocytes; Macrophages; mRNA; eosinophil cationic protein; DNA; polymorphism; Hodgkin Lymphoma; asthma; allergy; MEDICIN OCH VÅRD; MEDICINE; MEDICIN; Clinical Chemistry; klinisk kemi;

    Abstract : The eosinophil cationic protein (ECP) is usually associated with the eosinophil granulocyte. In this thesis the presence and production of this protein has been studied in two other cells. The circulating monocyte was found to contain ECP mRNA and small amounts of ECP, one thousand times less than that found in the eosinophil. READ MORE

  4. 2. Recombinant subunit vaccines : protein immunogens

    Author : Sissela Liljeqvist; KTH; []
    Keywords : ;

    Abstract : Recombinant techniques provide valuable tools for thedevelopment of modern subunit vaccines. In this thesisdifferent systems for production of recombinant subunitvaccines are presented. The strategies investigated includeprotein immunogens, live bacterial vectors and nucleicacids. READ MORE

  6. 4. Protein expression in prostate cancer

    Author : Helena Lexander; Karolinska Institutet; Karolinska Institutet; []
    Keywords : Two-dimensional gel electrophoresis; protein expression; biomarker; Gleason grade; DNA-ploidy;

    Abstract : The molecular pathology of prostate cancer (PCa) is complex and the pathways and the acquired molecular defects responsible for PCa initiation, development and progression are still largely unknown. Tumors of the prostate have an unpredictable behavior and in clinically detected cancers it is presently not possible to assess tumor aggressiveness. READ MORE

  7. 5. Angiopoietin-like protein 4 : an unfolding chaperone regulating lipoprotein lipase activity

    Author : Valentina Sukonina; Gunilla Olivecrona; Lena Kjellen; Umeå universitet; []
    Keywords : MEDICIN OCH HÄLSOVETENSKAP; MEDICAL AND HEALTH SCIENCES; Lipoprotein lipase; angiopoietin-like protein 4; protein folding; human adipose tissue; macrophages; peroxisome proliferator-activated receptor delta PPARδ ; Medical microbiology; Medicinsk mikrobiologi;

    Abstract : Lipoprotein lipase (LPL) is the main enzyme hydrolyzing triglyceride-rich lipoproteins in plasma. Proteoglycan-bound LPL on the vascular endothelium represent the functional pool of active enzyme. LPL is regulated in a tissue specific manner according to metabolic demands. READ MORE
