  1. 1. Role of androgen receptor signaling in the activation and differentiation of plasmacytoid dendritic cells

    Master-uppsats, Göteborgs universitet / Institutionen för biologi och miljövetenskap

    Författare :Faiza Tahsin Rashid; [2023-06-27]
    Nyckelord :;

    Sammanfattning : 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. LÄS MER

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

    Kandidat-uppsats, Lunds universitet/Examensarbeten i molekylärbiologi

    Författare :Linn Israelsson; [2021]
    Nyckelord :Biology and Life Sciences;

    Sammanfattning : 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. LÄS MER

    Sammanfattning : Head and neck squamous cell carcinoma (HNSCC) is the sixth most frequent cancer worldwide and its high mortality rate highlights the necessity of developing novel therapies. Among the different cancer therapy methods, one of the most encouraging ones is dendritic cell (DC)-targeting immunotherapy, where desired antigens are delivered to DCs via antibodies. LÄS MER

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

    Master-uppsats, SLU/Dept. of Biomedical Sciences and Veterinary Public Health

    Författare :Navisraj Balagunaseelan; [2014]
    Nyckelord :STING ; OPN; MATRIX‐M; type I interferons;

    Sammanfattning : 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. LÄS MER

  7. 5. Effects of different conditions of HIV-1 on plasmacytoid dendritic cells in maturation and function

    Kandidat-uppsats, Institutionen för fysik, kemi och biologi

    Författare :Susana Häggqvist; [2008]
    Nyckelord :Plasmacytoid dendritic cells; Interferon-α; HIV-1; complement and immune complexed opsonized.;

    Sammanfattning : Plasmacytoid dendritic cells (PDCs) are one cellular target of HIV-1 and respond to the virus by producing type I interferons and chemokines. PDCs exposed to HIV-1 strongly upregulate the expression of maturation markers such as CD83, CD80, CD86 and CCR7, which will turn them into professional antigen presenting cells with the ability to stimulate naïve CD4+T cells.
