  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. Characterizing the immunogenic cell death induced by Semliki Forest Virus in glioblastoma cell lines

    University essay from Uppsala universitet/Institutionen för immunologi, genetik och patologi; Uppsala universitet/Institutionen för biologisk grundutbildning

    Author : Aishwarya Sivaramakrishnan; [2021]
    Keywords : Glioblastoma; Immunogenic Cell Death; Oncolytic Viruses; Semliki Forest Virus; Aishwarya Sivaramakrishnan;

    Abstract : Glioblastoma is the most common primary brain tumor in humans and has a poor prognosis. Current therapies are not curative. Oncolytic viruses (OVs) are being investigated as tools to induce immunogenic cell death (ICD), cell death capable of activating the immune system. READ MORE

  4. 3. Analysing gene expression of IFN-ɑ stimulated genes in patients with SLE using direct and indirect methods

  5. 4. Comparison of the immunomodulatory capabilities of the V and C proteins of different morbilliviruses

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

    Author : Nelman Pushpa D Ranasinghe Atapattu Mudiyanselage; [2018]
    Keywords : Feline morbillivirus; Canine distemper morbillivirus; Measles morbillivirus; Type I interferon; C protein; V protein;

    Abstract : During a viral infection, when the virus enters into the cytoplasm, different cell types are able to produce interferons (IFN) as a result of interaction between intracellular pattern recognition receptors (PRR) and RNA helicases. This interferon activates and establishes an antiviral state which limits further spread of the virus. READ MORE
