    Author : Linn Israelsson; [2021]
    Keywords : Biology and Life Sciences;

    Abstract : Systemic Lupus Erythematosus (SLE) is an autoimmune disease where the immune system is attacking the body and its tissues. This leads to a chronic inflammation that can affect different parts of the body and therefore present itself in a vast variety of symptoms. READ MORE

  3. 2. Cytokine production in equine peripheral blood mononuclear cells induced by SvSXP, a Strongylus vulgaris excretory/secretory protein

    University essay from SLU/Dept. of Animal Breeding and Genetics

    Author : Cecilia Winkler; [2021]
    Keywords : Strongylus vulgaris; equine; cytokine; cyathostomins; vaccine; SvSXP;

    Abstract : The most pathogenic intestinal parasite in horses is Strongylus vulgaris (large bloodworm).
