    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

    Abstract : Typ 2-cytokiner, IL-4 och IL-13 är kända för att spela en viktig roll i airway hyperresponsiveness (AHR) eller luftvägshyperreaktivitet, där de glatta muskelcellerna (ASM) drar ihop sig för lätt och för mycket som svar på direkta eller indirekta stimuli. Detta gör AHR till en avgörande egenskap hos astmatiker. READ MORE
