Application of flow cytometry for multiplex analyses in clinical biochemistry
Babušíková, Lucie ; Tremlová,, Bohuslava (referee) ; Beňovská,, Miroslava (advisor)
This thesis discusses the technique of flow cytometry for multiplex analysis and its use in conjunction with imunochemical methods. As part of this work was carried out clinical studies dealing with secondary prevention of myocardial infarction and atherosclerosis in 186 pacientů. In this time represents myocardial infarction worldwide civilizational problem. A number of possible parameters for monitoring atherosclerosis in the world is still an unresolved issue. In the practical part of this work we performed an analysis using Luminex xMAP technology for new parameters (adiponectin, resistin, osteopontin) to predict atherosclerotic disease associated with myocardial infarcion. Also we wanted to see how these parameters are changed in patients after increasing the dose of therapeutic drugs.

Proportional and functional characteristics of particular neutrophil subpopulations in umbilical cord and peripheral blood
Miková, Eliška ; Hrdý, Jiří (advisor) ; Krulová, Magdaléna (referee)
Early postnatal period is characterised by generally immature phenotype of the newborn's immune system. The maturation of the immune system including setting appropriate regulatory responses is occurring during this period and encountering pioneering bacteria colonizing neonate plays an important role. In the early days after birth, the immune system of a newborn is very limited, and the adaptive part is mostly represented by antibodies transferred from the mother by cord blood (CB) in the womb and then by colostrum and mother's milk after labour. Therefore, innate immunity plays a key role in defence (against pathogens) in neonates and is largely represented by neutrophils. This study aims to better understand neutrophil biology and phenotype in umbilical CB, compared to neutrophils from peripheral blood (PB) of mothers and healthy non pregnant women (referred to as HC). The assessment of neutrophil phenotype based on surface markers was performed using flow cytometry. Expression of genes linked to antimicrobial function was measured using quantitative PCR. Functional properties of neutrophils, metabolic activity during activation and phagocytosis, and suppressive properties were assessed using the SeaHorse machine and flow cytometry, respectively. Here we confirm the presence of immature CD16low...

The use of neutrophils in cancer immunotherapy
KOVÁŘOVÁ, Markéta
The aim of this thesis was to investigate the possible role of neutrophil granulocytes in antitumor reactions. Most of our experiments were focused on in vitro studies assessing the cytotoxic effect of mouse neutrophils on B16-F10 melanoma cells labelled with PAMPs. We put an emphasis on activation and generating a prime state of neutrophils. Moreover, a release rate of enzyme myeloperoxidase from azurophil granules was detected as a marker of neutrophil degranulation. We also attempted to attract neutrophils into tumor microenvironment using thioglycolate medium and its main compound casein.
