  1. 1. Identification of DEGs in B cells of patients with common variable immunodeficiency and healthy donors

    University essay from Högskolan i Skövde/Institutionen för biovetenskap

    Author : Shirin Pour Akaber; [2019]
    Keywords : ;

    Abstract : Common variable immunodeficiency (CVID) is a rare primary immune deficiency (1:25000) in which patients have a reduction in antibody production and very low titres in one or more of their Ig isotypes, (IgG, IgA and sometimes IgM). This disease can cause different symptoms such as: bronchiectasis, chronic lung disease and even autoimmunity, polyclonal lymphocytic infiltration, lymphoma and death. READ MORE

  3. 2. Cytokine-induced immune cell migration towards tumour cells in a microchip environment

    University essay from KTH/Skolan för teknikvetenskap (SCI)

    Author : Wiktor Nilsson; Emil Andersson; [2016]
    Keywords : ;

    Abstract : The purpose of this project was to study the migration patterns of human immune cells in response to human renal cancer cells. This is useful in the study of different cancer treatments and the body’s own response to cancer. Cancer cells can release cytokines which can be detected by immune cells with the correct receptors.

  4. 3. Pattern recognition receptors’ and chemokine receptor expression on tonsil dendritic cells

    University essay from Lunds universitet/Utbildningsprogram, LTH; Lunds universitet/Institutionen för immunteknologi

    Author : Milad Abolhalaj; [2015]
    Keywords : CLEC9a; CD207; CD206; Flow cytometry; pathogen recognition receptors; dendritic cells; Tonsils; immunotherapy; XCR1; CLECSF14; Dectin-1; TLR4; TLR2; Dectin-2; CD205; Biology and Life Sciences;

    Abstract : Head and neck squamous cell carcinoma (HNSCC) is the sixth most frequent cancer worldwide and its high mortality rate highlights the necessity of developing novel therapies. Among the different cancer therapy methods, one of the most encouraging ones is dendritic cell (DC)-targeting immunotherapy, where desired antigens are delivered to DCs via antibodies. READ MORE

  5. 4. Development of a label-free biosensor method for the identification of sticky compounds which disturb GPCR-assays

    University essay from Institutionen för biologisk grundutbildning

    Author : Hamno Mohammed Kader; [2013]
    Keywords : Surface plasmon resonance SPR ; biosensor; Biacore; G-protein-coupled receptors GPCRs ; Low molecular weight LMW compounds; C-C chemokine receptor type 5 CCR5 ; acid-sensing ion channel 1a ASIC1a ; Thrombin; Carbonic Anhydrase II CA II ; P38α MAP kinase.;

    Abstract : It is widely known that early estimates about the binding properties of drug candidates are important in the drug discovery process. Surface plasmon resonance (SPR) biosensors have become a standard tool for characterizing interactions between a great variety of biomolecules and it offers a unique opportunity to study binding activity.

  6. 5. Chemokines regulate colon cancer metastasis

    University essay from Lunds universitet/Kemiska institutionen

    Author : Amr Al-Haidari; [2012]
    Keywords : Chemokines; Chemokine receptors; Proteinvetenskap; Metastasis IV; Colon cancer; Chemistry;

    Abstract : Background: Chemokines are small molecular weight proteins, which mainly function as a chemoattractant cytokines for leukocyte migration. Emerging data indicate that chemokines may also play a role in cancer biology. Colon cancer is one of the most leading causes of death especially in the industrial world. READ MORE
