Endocrine control of T cell function and its implications for the pathogenesis of neuroinflammatory diseases
(2013-06-17)Insulin and GCs are two important endocrine regulators of mammalian body homeostasis and both impact on immune cell functions. Whereas GCs are in widespread use for the treatment of autoimmune diseases since the late 1950s, ... -
Myeloid cell-specific ablation of the mineralocorticoid receptor attenuates experimental autoimmune encephalomyelitis
(2013-02-12)The mineralocorticoid receptor (MR) plays an essential role in regulating fluid and electrolyte homeostasis. Amongst hematopoietic cells, also macrophages express the MR but, unlike kidney or colon, they do not co-express ... -
Characterisation of killer immunoglobulin-like receptors in rhesus macaques (Macaca mulatta)
(2012-10-22)Rhesus macaques are important animal models of human diseases in which NK cells play significant roles. Whereas data on KIR genetic variability were recently published, data on KIR protein expression was not available until ... -
Molecular mechanism of B cell antigen receptor-induced SHIP activation
(2012-03-05)Regulation of B cell activation is highly important to keep the balance between immunity and self-tolerance. The SH2 domain-containing 5 inositol phosphatase (SHIP) is an inhibitor of B ... -
Evolutionary History of Snub-nosed Monkeys (Rhinopithecus spp.) and Population Genetic Structure of the Guizhou Snub-nosed Monkey (R. brelichi)
(2012-01-06)The colobines (leaf monkeys) represent a diverse group of Old World primates. They comprise ten genera with major radiations in Africa and Asia. As in most other primate radiations, recent ... -
The quest for orthologs, the tree of basal animals, and taxonomic profiles of metagenomes
(2010-07-16)This PhD study covers the development and application of methods in basal animal phylogenomics as well as the development of methods in metagenomics.Studies of the tree of the basal animals Cnidaria, ... -
Expression and properties of neuronal MHC class I molecules in the brain of the common marmoset monkey
(2009-11-13)Several recent studies have highlighted the important role of immunity-related molecules in synaptic plasticity processes in the developing and adult rodent brain. It has been suggested that neuronal MHC (major ...
