Establishment of a transformation procedure to study the role of trypsin inhibitors in soybean
The major serine proteinase inhibitors Kunitz and Bowman-Birk-type trypsin are key anti-nutrients responsible for the low nutritional value of raw soy cake, the by product of oil expression from soybean. Traditionally, proteinase inhibitors are eliminated from soy cake through intensive heating, …

Targeting bacterial infections by using immunomodulatory host defence peptides and proteins
… was discovered. HCII belongs to the class of serine proteinase inhibitors (serpins) and specifically inhibits human thrombin. However, its precise physiological role remained enigmatic. Paper IV shows that cleavage of HCII by human neutrophil elastase induces a conformational change in the …

The Role of Serine Protease Inhibitors in Regulating Hepatotoxicity During Viral Infection
… and clearance of hepatic viral infections. Human proteinase inhibitor 9 (PI-9/ serpinB9) and the murine orthologue, serine proteinase inhibitor 6 (SPI-6/ serpinb9) are members of a family of intracellular serine proteinase inhibitors (serpins). PI-9 and SPI-6 expression in immune-privileged cells, …
