The prevalence of allergic disease is continuing to increase worldwide, and it has even become a major concern in public health. Allergic reactions are developed to otherwise harmless substances and may be both life-threatening as well as discomforting for patients in their daily life. Therefore, a more detailed knowledge about how antibodies interact with allergens and effector cells in allergic

GAD65 autoantibodies (GAD65Ab) are highly prevalent in type 1 diabetes, but their functional role in the pathogenesis of the disease and their relationship to T-cell reactivity to GAD65 is still unclear. We tested the hypothesis that GAD65Ab modulate presentation of GAD65 to T-cells. T-cell hybridoma T33.1, which recognizes the GAD65 274-286 epitope in the context of HLA-DRB1*0401, was incubated w

The aim of present study was to arrange an experimental rabbit model for IgA-nephropathy. To this purpose, an approach was attempted which was previously successfully applied in rabbits, aiming for induction of post-streptococcal glomerulonephritis (PSGN). To induce the nephropathy, we used two Streptococcus pyogenes strains of M4 and M60 serotypes which showed differential IgA-binding capacity me

Biomechanical models which require information on, e.g., joint torque and muscle force are useful in the estimation of when and how mechanical overload of the musculoskeletal system may lead to disorders. The aim was to study the reliability and validity of magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) to quantify muscle sizes and moment arms by MRI and to test selected anthropometric measures as predictors of

Recent work from several laboratories has demonstrated that proteolytic mechanisms significantly contribute to the molecular interplay between Streptococcus pyogenes, an important human pathogen, and its host. Here we describe the identification, purification and characterization of a novel extracellular cysteine proteinase produced by S.pyogenes. This enzyme, designated IdeS for Immunoglobulin G-

Background. Allergy nurses are exposed to allergens and respiratory irritants, and there are no national guidelines addressing personnel safety when working with these agents. Objective. To investigate the prevalence of allergies, asthma, and hypersensitivity symptoms among allergy nurses and the use of protective equipment and measures when working with allergen concentrates and respiratory irrit

OBJECTIVE: Mapping coreceptor epitopes used by the prototypic R5 and X4 strains, HIV-1BaL and HIV-1IIIB, in comparison with epitopes involved in the activation and signaling induced by the natural ligands, RANTES and SDF-1beta. DESIGN: Receptor hybrids between CCR5 and CXCR4 were constructed. METHODS: Using single-overlap and extension PCR, increasing portions of CCR5 were replaced with correspond

Under den cirka en miljard år gamla Svekonorvegiska orogenesen deformerades den västra randzonen av Fennoskandiska urbergsskölden. Denna händelse ligger till grund för hur sydvästra Skandinaviens berggrund ser ut idag, men det är ännu omdiskuterat hur orogenesen skedde i detalj. Idefjordenterrängen som avgränsas till Östra Segmentet av Mylonitzonen, innehåller sekvenser av metasediment tillhörandeThe approximately 1 Ga old Sveconorwegian orogen occupies the western margin of the Fennoscandian shield and comprise tectonically reworked and metamorphosed rocks. This event accounts for the characteristics of the bedrock in southwest Scandinavia today, but it is still debated how this development took place in detail, and especially if it was a collisional or non-collisional orogeny. The Idefjo

YedY from Escherichia coli is a new member of the sulfite oxidase family of molybdenum cofactor (Moco)-containing oxidoreductases. We investigated the atomic structure of the molybdenum site in YedY by X-ray absorption spectroscopy, in comparison to human sulfite oxidase (hSO) and to a MoIV model complex. The K-edge energy was indicative of MoV in YedY, in agreement with X-and Q-band electron para

Previous studies have identified an association between osteoporotic fracture and a polymorphism affecting a Sp1 binding site in the first intron of the collagen type I alpha 1 gene (COL1A1). It is currently unclear, however, whether this association is direct or the result of linkage disequilibrium with other polymorphisms situated nearby. In this study we analyzed the relationship between four w

Familial risks for cancer are important for clinical counseling and understanding cancer etiology. Medically verified data on familial risks have not been available for all types of cancer. The nationwide Swedish Family-Cancer Database includes all Swedes born in 1932 and later (0-to 68-year-old offspring) with their parents, totaling over 10.2 million individuals. Cancer cases were retrieved from

C-4 savanna grass species, Digitaria eriantha, Eragrostis lehmanniana and Panicum repens, were grown under optimum growth conditions with the aim of characterizing their above- and below-ground biomass allocation and the response of their gas exchange to changes in light intensity, CO2 concentration and leaf-to-air vapour pressure deficit gradient (D-l). Digitaria eriantha showed the largest above
