Investigation of the gut-associated lymphoid tissue in sheep with emphasis on natural killer cells
Olsen, Line (PhD Thesis;2015:52, Doctoral thesis, 2017-07-04)The gut-associated lymphoid tissue (GALT) of sheep has been investigated for decades, and several immune cells receding within these structures have been described. The GALT of sheep has specialized compartments described ... -
NDRG1 and PrPC in peripheral nerve myelin maintenance : insights from morphological studies in two unique animal models
Skedsmo, Fredrik Strebel (PhD Thesis;2020:28, Doctoral thesis, 2020)Peripheral nerves transmit signals between peripheral tissue and the central nervous system, essential for normal motor and sensory function. To enable this, the integrity of both the axon and Schwann cell is crucial. The ... -
Non-neuronal functions of the prion protein : insights from a unique animal model
Reiten, Malin Rokseth (PhD Thesis;2017:68, Doctoral thesis, 2017)The physiological function of the cellular prion protein (PrPC) remains enigmatic. A misfolded, infectious conformer of the protein, known as the scrapie isoform PrPSc, is able to aggregate in brain tissue and cause a group ... -
The cellular prion protein and the inflammatory response
Salvesen, Øyvind (PhD Thesis;2017:81, Doctoral thesis, 2017)The cellular prion protein (PrPC) is known for its pivotal role in the development of prion diseases, such as Creutzfeldt-Jakob disease in humans and scrapie in small ruminants. In these diseases, PrPC is converted into a ...
