  1. 16. Dräktighetsimmunologi hos häst

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

    Author : Frida Sjöberg; [2013]
    Keywords : dräktighet; immunologi; häst; sto; embryo; trofoblast; MHC I; abort;

    Abstract : Under dräktigheten modulerar embryot stoets immunförsvar på flera sätt för att undvika att stötas bort. Embryots invasiva trofoblaster är de enda trofoblaster som uttrycker så kallade major histocompatibility complex class I (MHC I). READ MORE

  3. 17. Utveckling av vaccin mot kongenital toxoplasmos hos får

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

    Author : Emma Freijs; [2013]
    Keywords : toxoplasma gondii; får; vaccin; kongenital infektion; kastning; immunologiskt svar;

    Abstract : Toxoplasma gondii är en parasit som kan infektera alla varmblodiga djur, men orsakar sällan komplikationer om den inte infekterar en dräktig eller immunosupprimerad individ. Den är ett stort problem för fårnäringen i och med de aborter, dödfödslar och neonatala dödsfall den orsakar. READ MORE

  4. 18. Effects on immune cell viability, morphology and proliferation in a sub-microliter cell sampler system

    University essay from Institutionen för fysik, kemi och biologi; Tekniska högskolan

    Author : Sofia Wiklund; [2013]
    Keywords : Cell-picker; sub-microliter cell sampler system; immune cells; T cells; NK cells; B cells; cell viability; morphology; proliferation; surface coating; microchip; wells; silicon chip; single-cell analysis; flow system; fluorescence microscopy; cell staining; characterization;

    Abstract : Today,   most traditional method used in the research of immune cells, such as flow   cytometry and microscopy, are based on average values of cell responses.   However, immune cells are heterogeneous and respond differently to a given   stimuli. READ MORE

  5. 19. Microwell-based Collagen Matrix Migration Assays for NK:target Cell Interactions : Three-dimensional Imaging and Analysis of Transient Migration Behavior of NK Cells in vitro

    University essay from KTH/Cellens fysik

    Author : Per Olofsson; [2011]
    Keywords : ;

    Abstract : Natural killer (NK) cells are lymphocytes of the innate immune system responsible for lysing tumor and virally-infected cells. Investigating NK cell heterogeneity can inform the development of more efficacious immunotherapeutic treatments. Cell motility is an essential aspect of NK cell function. READ MORE

  6. 20. In Vitro Study of Recruitment Ability of Macrophages and Trophoblasts in Early Human Pregnancy

    University essay from Institutionen för fysik, kemi och biologi

    Author : Caroline Wendel; [2010]
    Keywords : Decidua; macrophages; Matrigel; migration assay; pregnancy; trophoblasts;

    Abstract : The tolerance towards the semi-allogenic foetus is obtained through both systemic and local changes in the maternal immune response. Locally, in the decidua, the cell composition differs from that found in the blood; natural killer (NK) cells and macrophages being the major cell types. READ MORE
