The development of therapeutic and diagnostic antibodies is a rapidly growing field of research, being the fastest expanding group of products on the pharmaceutical market, and appropriate quality controls are crucial for their application. We have identified and characterized the serine protease termed BspK (Bdellovibrio serine protease K) from Bdellovibrio bacteriovorus and here show its activit

Eosinophils participate in the inflammatory response seen in allergy and helminthic infestation. Their release of granule-bound cationic proteins may play a role in these diseases. Therefore, we investigated mechanisms involved in the release of eosinophil cationic protein (ECP). Serum-opsonized zymosan was phagocytosed by eosinophils, and ECP was released into the phagosomes as judged by immunoel

The M protein family of molecules in the group A streptococcus comprises a number of cell surface proteins that interact with the immune system of the host. One of the proteins in this family is the IgA receptor Arp4, which has C repeats similar to those that characterize the known M proteins. The streptococcal strain expressing Arp4 also expresses a second immunoglobulin-binding protein, Mrp4, wh

Popular Abstract in Swedish Hur gör bakterier för att komma undan immunförsvaret? Vi har studerat hur en vanligt förekommande bakterie, grupp A streptokocker, gör för att undvika kroppens immunförsvar vid infektion. Vi har upptäckt enzymer som bidrar till bakteriens förmåga att undvika immunförsvaret genom att avväpna antikroppar. De bakteriella enzymerna kan användas i bioteknisk industri och eveA majority of the proteins of the immune system are glycosylated and the glycans of IgG are essential for its functionality. Bacteria display enzymes that modulate the glycans of the immune system to weaken the host defense and favor bacterial survival. In this thesis we aimed at exploring bacterial modulation of host glycosylation in infection and to evaluate the usefulness of bacterial enzymes i

The common human pathogen Streptococcus pyogenes is the causative agent of numerous mild and severe clinical conditions. It expresses a number of secreted or cell wall-anchored proteins that modulate the human immune system and facilitate colonization and spread of the pathogen in the human host. During S. pyogenes infections, human plasma leaks into the site of infection as a consequence of infl

The M protein of Streptococcus pyogenes is a major bacterial virulence factor that confers resistance to phagocytosis. To analyze how M protein allows evasion of phagocytosis, we used the M22 protein, which has features typical of many M proteins and has two well-characterized regions binding human plasma proteins: the hypervariable NH2-terminal region binds C4b-binding protein (C4BP), which inhib

The nonobese diabetic (NOD) mouse spontaneously develops autoimmune-mediated diseases such as diabetes and Sjögren′s syndrome. To investigate whether NOD genes also promote autoimmune-mediatedarthritis we established a NOD strain with an MHC class II fragment containing the Aq class II gene predisposing for collagen induced arthritis (NOD.Q). However, this mouse was resistant to arthritis in contr

Parkinson’s disease shows a heterogeneous course and different clinical subtyping systems have been described. To compare the capabilities of two clinical classification systems, motor-phenotypes, and a simplified clinical motor-nonmotor subtyping system, a cohort was included at mean 7.9 ± 5.3 years of disease duration, classified using both clinical systems, and reexamined and reclassified at th

Two electrotechnologies: pulsed electric fields (PEF) and moderate electric field (MEF) in combination with vacuum impregnation of glycerol as cryoprotectant were used to increase the freezing tolerance of rocket leaves. Rocket leaves were treated with PEF using a nominal field strength of 1200 V/cm or MEF at different combinations of voltage and frequency. Leaves were then immersed in a glycerol
