1. 1. Hematopoietic serine proteases; an analysis of their extended cleavage specificity, in-vivo substrates, and evolution

   University essay from Uppsala universitet/Institutionen för cell- och molekylärbiologi; Uppsala universitet/Institutionen för biologisk grundutbildning

   Author : Erdem Aybay; [2021]
   Keywords : ;

   Abstract : Serine proteases are found in the granules of various immune cells and they have very diverse functions in the immune system. These serine proteases have their own primary and extended cleavage specificities and these specificities can vary a lot between different serine proteases. READ MORE

3. 2. The Effects of Mast Cell Proteases on Human Lung Cells Population

   University essay from Uppsala universitet/Institutionen för biologisk grundutbildning

   Author : Xinran Zhao; [2019]
   Keywords : asthma; primary cell; tryptase; chymase;

   Abstract : Asthma is a devastating disease characterized by airway obstruction, inflammation, and bronchial hyperreactivity. Previous studies have implicated mast cells in the pathology of asthma, yet the role and function of mast cells in the early stage of human asthma development cannot be investigated in vivo for ethical reasons.

4. 3. The role of mast cells and mast cell mediators in the development of atopic dermatitis in a mouse model

   University essay from SLU/Dept. of Biomedical Sciences and Veterinary Public Health

   Keywords : atopic dermatitis; mouse model; mast cell; MC903; chymase; TSLP; IL - 33; atopisk dermatit; musmodell; mastcell; MC903; kymas; TSLP; IL - 33;

   Abstract : Atopic dermatitis (AD) is a complex, often lifelong allergic disease affecting around 10 % of both dogs and humans. The hallmark symptom is severe pruritus, causing a lowered quality of life. READ MORE

5. 4. Production and cleavage specificity determination of serine proteases mMCP-4, mMCP-5, rMCP-2 and two platypus serine proteases of the chymase locus.

   University essay from Institutionen för biologisk grundutbildning

   Author : Cherno Omar Sidibeh; [2013]
   Keywords : Serine protease; substrate; hek 293; baculovirus; phage display; chromogenic substrates;

   Abstract : Serine proteases are a family of enzymes with a wide array of functions across both eukaryotes and prokaryotes. Here we have attempted to produce the serine proteases rat mast cell protease 2 and mouse mast cell protease 5 in a culture of HEK 293 cells; and mouse mast cell protease 4, platypus granzyme B-like protease and platypus hypothetical protease in a baculovirus expression system.
