  1. 1. Role of androgen receptor signaling in the activation and differentiation of plasmacytoid dendritic cells

    University essay from Göteborgs universitet / Institutionen för biologi och miljövetenskap

    Author : Faiza Tahsin Rashid; [2023-06-27]
    Keywords : ;

    Abstract : Androgens are steroid hormones essential for the development and maintenance of male reproductive organs and secondary sexual characteristics. Plasmacytoid dendritic cells (pDCs) are immune cells that act as the first line of defense against viral infections. READ MORE

  3. 2. Cytokine capture with beads in cytotoxicity assays in microwells

    University essay from KTH/Tillämpad fysik

    Author : Maxime Simon; [2023]
    Keywords : Microbead; Inteferon gamma; Natural Killer cells; microwell; binding-reaction model; Mikrokula; Interferon gamma; Naturliga Mördarceller; Mikrobrunn; modell för bindningsreaktion;

    Abstract : Cytokines are small, secreted proteins that are important for cell signalling in theimmune system. Interferon gamma (IFN-γ) is one of the most potent cytokines thatnatural killer (NK) cells of the innate immune system secrete with both antiviral,antibacterial, and antitumoral activity. READ MORE

  4. 3. Dual RNA-seq analysis of gene co-expression and immune response mechanisms in chickens infected by Eimeria tenella

    University essay from Uppsala universitet/Institutionen för biologisk grundutbildning

    Author : Alma Hansen; [2023]
    Keywords : RNA-seq; Eimeria; bioinformatics; gene co-expression;

    Abstract : Coccidiosis caused by Eimeria parasites is a worldwide problem, affecting chickens and leading to great losses in the poultry industry. Current vaccines are costly and non-optimal, and the parasite has developed resistance to the anticoccidials in use. READ MORE

  6. 5. SCREENING FOR IRF5 INHIBITORS

    University essay from Örebro universitet/Institutionen för naturvetenskap och teknik

    Author : Elin Forsberg; [2021]
    Keywords : IRF5; inhibitor; drug;

    Abstract : Interferon regulatory factor 5 (IRF5) is a protein with different functions including theactivation of genes that encode different cytokines. Overexpression of IRF5 has been observedto lead to different types of stress in the cells, including an overproduction of cytokines, whichis referred to as a cytokine storm. READ MORE
