  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. Investigating the autoimmunity profiles of Covid-19 patients

    University essay from KTH/Proteinvetenskap

    Author : Alfred Kedhammar; [2021]
    Keywords : Covid-19; SARS-CoV-2; Autoimmunity; Autoantibodies; Cytokines; Covid-19; SARS-CoV-2; Autoimmunitet; Autoantikroppar; Cytokiner;

    Abstract : The clinical severity of Covid-19 varies greatly between individuals, and all underlying risk factors are not yet well understood. Previous studies have shown Covid patients to be enriched with autoantibodies against type I interferons, suggesting autoimmunity may be an underlying factor of susceptibility to severe disease.

  4. 3. 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

  5. 4. Evaluation of the gene expression of STING, IFN‐β and osteopontin in tissue obtained from pigs treated with Matrix‐M

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

    Author : Navisraj Balagunaseelan; [2014]
    Keywords : STING ; OPN; MATRIX‐M; type I interferons;

    Abstract : Matrix‐M is the adjuvant component in traditional ISCOM vaccines. The adjuvant when used along with antigen increases the efficiency of the vaccines by inducing a balanced Th1/Th2 response and a long‐lasting antibody response. READ MORE

  6. 5. Detection And Quantification Of Equine Type I Interferons

    University essay from Medicinska fakulteten

    Author : Casper Wahlund; [2011]
    Keywords : ;

    Abstract : Type I interferons (IFNs), perhaps the most important of cytokines in fighting viral infections, have been target for detailed research only the past few decades and much is yet to be investigated. Hidden in the mysteries of IFNs might be powerful anti-viral and anti-tumor therapies, alongside greatly increased understanding of vertebrate immunology. READ MORE
