The neutral protease cathepsin G belongs to a family of hematopoietic serine proteases stored in the azurophil granules of the neutrophil granulocyte. To investigate the function of asparagine-linked carbohydrates in neutrophil serine proteases, we constructed a mutant cDNA, coding for human cathepsin G deficient of a functional glycosylation site, for use in a transgenic cellular model. Wild type

Tillgång till tillräckliga mängder vatten av god kvalitet är en väsentlig resurs för samhället. Det behövs för mänsklig konsumtion, för produktion i industrin, för fisket, etcetera. Det är därför mycket oroande att vattenkvaliteten i Europeiska unionen successivt försämras. Östersjön som är mycket påverkad av övergödning kan nämnas som ett exempel. Övergödning orsakas av utsläpp av näringsämnen iThe supply of good quality water is an essential resource for society. It is needed for human consumption, for production processes in the industry, for fishing, etcetera. The fact that the quality of waters within the European Union is continuously deteriorating is therefore of major concern. One example is the Baltic Sea, which is heavily affected by eutrophication. Eutrophication is caused b
