The aim of this study was to examine gene expression in a highly purified isolate of enterocytes taken from patients with active coeliac disease
Abstract:
BACKGROUND: Coeliac disease is a multifactorial inflammatory disorder of the intestine caused by ingestion of gluten in genetically susceptible individuals. Genes within the HLA-DQ locus are considered to contribute some 40% of the genetic influence on this disease. However, information on other disease causing genes is sparse. Since enterocytes are considered to play a central role in more...

The aim of this study was to investigate evaluate neonatal and adult neutrophils for their ability to combat bacterial infection by examining their functional activity (CD11b and reactive oxygen intermediates) and their persistence at inflammatory sites
Abstract:
Neutropenia is a common sequela of neonatal sepsis. Recent clinical trials have shown the beneficial effects of colony-stimulating factors (CSFs) on outcome in this group, but the exact mechanism remains unknown. Neonates and mothers who were at high-risk for infection were recruited for cord blood sampling in a university tertiary referral maternity hospital. Neonatal and adult more...
