Journal ArticleDOI
Truncated thioredoxin (Trx80) exerts unique mitogenic cytokine effects via a mechanism independent of thiol oxido-reductase activity.
Klas Pekkari,Javier Avila-Cariño,Ramanathan Gurunath,Å. Bengtsson,Annika Scheynius,Arne Holmgren +5 more
TL;DR: Cysteine to serine mutants of Trx80 corresponding to the active site cysteines oftrx (Trx80SGPS) and to the structural cysteine at position 72 (trx80C72S) are engineered to further characterise Trx 80.
Journal ArticleDOI
Efficient identification of Malassezia yeasts by matrix‐assisted laser desorption ionization‐time of flight mass spectrometry (MALDI‐TOF MS)
Anna Kolecka,Kantarawee Khayhan,Michael Arabatzis,Aristea Velegraki,Markus Kostrzewa,Anna Andersson,Annika Scheynius,Claudia Cafarchia,Roberta Iatta,Maria Teresa Montagna,Sirida Youngchim,F. J. Cabañes,P Hoopman,Bart Kraak,Marizeth Groenewald,T. Boekhout +15 more
TL;DR: Ma‐assisted laser desorption ionization‐time of flight mass spectrometry (MALDI‐TOF MS) has been reported to be a rapid and reliable diagnostic tool to identify clinically important yeasts, but so far no data have been reported on identification of Malassezia isolates with this technique.
Journal ArticleDOI
No evidence for a placental microbiome in human pregnancies at term
Irene Sterpu,Emma Fransson,Luisa W. Hugerth,Juan Du,Marcela Pereira,Liqin Cheng,Sebastian Alexandru Radu,Lorena Calderón-Pérez,Yinghua Zha,Pia Angelidou,Alexandra A. L. Pennhag,Fredrik Boulund,Annika Scheynius,Lars Engstrand,Eva Wiberg-Itzel,Ina Schuppe-Koistinen,Ina Schuppe-Koistinen +16 more
TL;DR: No evidence to support the existence of a placental microbiome is found in a cross-sectional study comparing samples from two groups of full-term births using PCR amplification and sequencing techniques and bacterial culture experiments.
Journal ArticleDOI
Dendritic cells and fungi.
Eva Buentke,Annika Scheynius +1 more
TL;DR: Fungi provide a powerful activation stimulus to dendritic cells, resulting in DC maturation with upregulation of co‐stimulatory molecules and production of cytokine patterns leading to different T cell responses, and the possibility of using ex vivo‐generated DCs as therapeutic tools for restoring anti‐fungal immunity is a challenge for the future.
Journal ArticleDOI
Truncated thioredoxin (Trx80) induces differentiation of human CD14 monocytes into a novel cell type (TAMs) via activation of the MAP kinases p38, ERK, and JNK
TL;DR: In this article, Trx80-activated monocytes (TAMs) were shown to induce differentiation of human CD14+ monocytes into a cell type not described previously.
