    • Choice of immunoassay to evaluate porcine cytokine levels 

      Ueland, Nora Lamark; Ludvigsen, Judith K.; Hellerud, Bernt C; Mollnes, Tom Eirik; Skjeflo, Espen Waage (Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2020)
      Background In order to adequately monitor cytokines in experimental models, currently available methods and commercially available kits should be compared. Aim To compare the plasma and tissue concentrations of IL-1β, ...

    • Combined inhibition of complement and CD14 improved outcome in porcine polymicrobial sepsis 

      Skjeflo, Espen Waage; Sagatun, Caroline; Dybwik, Knut; Aam, Sturla; Urving, Sven Haakon; Nunn, Miles A.; Fure, Hilde; Lau, Corinna; Brekke, Ole Lars; Huber-Lang, Markus; Espevik, Terje; Barratt-Due, Andreas; Nielsen, Erik Waage; Mollnes, Tom Eirik (Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2015)
      Introduction Sepsis is an exaggerated and dysfunctional immune response to infection. Activation of innate immunity recognition systems including complement and the Toll-like receptor family initiate this disproportionate ...

    • Complement factors B, D, C3bBbP and risk of future venous thromboembolism 

      Skjeflo, Espen Waage; Evensen, Line Holtet; Jensen, Søren Beck; Latysheva, Nadezhda; Michelsen, Annika Elisabet; Ueland, Thor; Brækkan, Sigrid Kufaas; Hindberg, Kristian Dalsbø; Snir, Omri; Mollnes, Tom Eirik; Hansen, John Bjarne (Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2023)
      The complement system appears to be involved in the pathogenesis of venous thromboembolism (VTE). We investigated the association of complement factors (CF) B, D, and the alternative pathway convertase, C3bBbP, measured ...

    • Phagocytosis of live and dead Escherichia coli and Staphylococcus aureus in human whole blood is markedly reduced by combined inhibition of C5aR1 and CD14 

      Skjeflo, Espen Waage; Christiansen, Dorte; Landsem, Anne; Stenvik, Jørgen; Woodruff, T. M.; Espevik, Terje; Nielsen, Erik Waage; Mollnes, Tom Eirik (Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2019)
      Background Sepsis is a dysregulated host response to infection. The aim of this study was to investigate the effects of complement- and CD14 inhibition on phagocytosis of live and dead Gram-negative and Gram-positive ...

    • Quantification of Porcine Complement Activation Fragment C3a by a Neoepitope-Based Enzyme-Linked Immunosorbent Assay 

      Nilsson, Per; Pettersen, Kristin; Oppermann, Martin; Skjeflo, Espen Waage; Fure, Hilde; Christiansen, Dorte; Mollnes, Tom Eirik (Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2021)
      Enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay (ELISA) enables fast and simple quantification of analytes in the pico- to nanogram range in complex samples. Here, we describe an ELISA for the detection of porcine C3a as a marker for ...

    • Staphylococcus aureus-induced complement activation promotes tissue factor-mediated coagulation 

      Skjeflo, Espen Waage; Christiansen, Dorte; Fure, Hilde; Ludviksen, Judith K; Woodruff, Trent M.; Espevik, Terje; Nielsen, Erik Waage; Brekke, Ole-Lars; Mollnes, Tom Eirik (Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2018)
      Background There is extensive cross‐talk between the complement system, the Toll‐like receptors (TLRs), and hemostasis. Consumptive coagulopathy is a hallmark of sepsis, and is often mediated through increased tissue ...
