Transplantation of allogeneic embryonic neural tissue is a potential treatment for patients with Parkinson's and Huntington's diseases. The supply of human donor tissue is limited, and alternatives such as the use of animal (e.g., porcine) donor tissue are currently being evaluated. Before porcine grafts can be used clinically, strategies to prevent neural xenograft rejection must be developed. Kn

Of 30 bacterial species tested 18 stimulated DNA synthesis in human blood lymphocytes. The maximum response was after 3-4 days of culture suggesting a mitogenic effect. This was confirmed by the induction of polyclonal antibody production shown by a plaque assay. Most bacterial species increased the DNA synthesis in B-enriched lymphocytes and unseparated lymphocytes but had negligible activity on

IgA nephropathy (IgAN) and Henoch-Schönlein purpura (HSP) are diseases characterized by IgA deposits in the kidney and/or skin. Both may arise after upper respiratory tract infections, but the pathogenic mechanisms governing these diseases remain unclear. Patients with IgAN (n = 16) and HSP (n = 17) were included in this study aimed at examining whether IgA-binding M proteins of group A streptococ

It has previously been shown that sera from multiparous women have increased levels of anti-idiotypic antibodies specific for anti-HLA molecules. γ-Globulins prepared from these sera may be superior to commercial preparations of intravenous γ-globulin (IVIg) for inhibiting HLA alloimmunization. To test this, F(ab′)2 fragments prepared from either commercial IVIg or from the sera of men or multipar

Tissue factor pathway inhibitor-2 (TFPI-2) has previously been characterized as an endogenous anticoagulant. TFPI-2 is expressed in the vast majority of cells, mainly secreted into the extracellular matrix. Recently we reported that EDC34, a C-terminal peptide derived from TFPI-2, exerts a broad antimicrobial activity. In the present study, we describe a previously unknown antimicrobial mode of ac

Introduction: Recent haemophilia treatment advances include new recombinant FVIII (rFVIII) products with improved pharmacokinetic (PK) properties that aim to reduce the burden of prophylaxis. These treatments are commonly referred to as extended half-life rFVIII products (EHL rFVIII). There is no uniform definition of what constitutes an EHL rFVIII. Such a definition would help physicians, patient

Background: Nigeria is a major contributor to the global malaria burden. The genetic diversity of malaria parasite populations as well as antibody responses of individuals in affected areas against antigens of the parasite can reveal the transmission intensity, a key information required to control the disease. This work was carried out to determine the allelic frequency of highly polymorphic Plas

Introduction Delayed palliative management (DPM) is an alternative for prostate cancer (PCa) patients with poor performance status, or those who received radical treatment but progressed and no longer meet the criteria for curative treatment. PIONEER is a large network of federated data analytic platforms in PCa that aims to improve its care through the application of big data analytics. The objec

Botaniska trädgården har i samarbete med Visit Lund tagit fram tre olika guidade visningar i trädgården. Dessa kan du gå i egen takt. Du väljer själv om du vill lyssna på turerna eller läsa korta informationstexter. Turerna är följande: Utforska Botan: I denna visning kommer du att få utforska trädgården. Oavsett om du är trädgårdsentusiast eller bara nyfiken att uppleva något vackert, är denna vi

Eutrofiering det oönskade fenomenet av hög näringstillförsel i ett akvatiskt system, är för det mesta ett resultat av mänsklig påverkan: industriellt och urbant avloppsvatten, avrinning av gödningsmedel från odlad mark, och förbränning av fossila bränslen. Studien av de främsta faktorerna som bidrar till eutrofiering (t. ex. variationer i kvävets kretslopp), är viktigt för förståelsen av dess negaEutrophication, the undesired phenomenon of high nutrient loads in an aquatic system, is mostly caused by human impact: industrial and urban waste water discharge, run-off of fertilizers from agricultural use, and combustion of fuels. The study of eutrophications' main participants such as the nitrogen cycle, are necessary to prevent it. Environmental parameters have an impact onto the effecti
