Receptors recognizing the Fc-part of immunoglobulins (FcR) are important in the
engagement of phagocytes with opsonized micro-organisms, but they also play a major role …

The Chikungunya virus (CHIKV) is a re-emerging arbovirus, in which its infection causes a
febrile illness also commonly associated with severe joint pain and myalgia. Although the …

We have identified a rare healthy FcγRIIIB (CD16B)-null donor completely lacking FCGR3B
RNA and protein expression and dissected the role of the different neutrophil Fcγ receptors …

While Epstein-Barr virus causes mostly asymptomatic infection, associated malignancies,
and autoimmune and lymphoproliferative diseases occur. To dissect the evolution of …

Fc‐gamma receptor (FcγR) activation by soluble IgG immune complexes (sICs) represents a
major mechanism of inflammation in certain autoimmune diseases such as systemic lupus …

Pseudotuberculosis is caused by Photobacterium damselae subsp. piscicida (Phdp), an
important pathogen in marine fish culture. In this study, Phdp isolated from a Rachycentron …

Neutrophils, classified as professional phagocytes, are crucial in killing bacteria and
preventing inflammation. When studying the roles of neutrophils in the development of the …

Fc-gamma receptor (FcγR) activation by soluble IgG immune complexes (sICs) represents a
major mechanism of inflammation in certain autoimmune diseases such as systemic lupus …

The central focus of this thesis is to understand some of the fundamental physiology of the
neutrophil phagosome in relation to the effects of the NADPH oxidase. The NADPH oxidase …

Candida albicans is one of the most common causes of nosocomial infection that can lead to
serious or even fatal illness. C. albicans is naturally resistant to complement activation …
