Abstract:
Neutrophil degranulation, angiogenesis and wound healing are three important host responses during inflammation. In this thesis we studied how the immunocalin α1-acid glycoprotein (AGP), in its role of immunomodulatory acute phase protein, affected this processes. We studied bovine neutrophil degranulation within the frame of acute inflammation and we studied angiogenesis and wound healing on endothelial human primary cells. We found that AGP exhorts an important role downregulating both spontaneous and ZAS activated degranulation of secondary bovine neutrophil granules but not on primary gran

The discovery of antifreeze proteins (AFPs) and antifreeze glycoproteins (AFGPs) has sparked the interest of researchers due to its potential commercial, industrial and medicinal applications.

Two physical properties associated with these antifreeze compounds are thermal hysteresis (TH) and ice crystallization inhibition (IRI). It was previously believed that TH and IRI worked hand-in-hand, however, the discovery of an AFP from rye grass possessing only IRI suggested otherwise. It was thus believed that the presence of
