1. Idiopathic thrombocytopenic purpura in childhood : clinical features, diagnostics and treatment
Sammanfattning : Idiopathic thrombocytopenic purpura (ITP) is an autoimmune disorder characterized by thrombocytopenia, i.e. platelet count (pl.c. LÄS MER
2. On cellular immunology in chronic idiopathic thrombocytopenic purpura (ITP)
Sammanfattning : Chronic idiopathic thrombocytopenic purpura (ITP) is an acquired autoimmune disease characterized by a low platelet count and mucocutaneous bleedings. Chronic ITP is considered to be mediated by autoantibodies leading to premature destruction of platelets in the reticuloendothelial system. LÄS MER
3. Studies on antibodies against phospholipids
Sammanfattning : The main clinical features of the antiphospholipid syndrome (APLS) are arterial and venous thrombosis, repeated spontaneous abortions and thrombocytopenia. Diagnosed concomitant with an underlying disease the designation is secondary APLS; otherwise primary APLS. LÄS MER
4. Human antibody repertoires in normal physiology and in autoimmune disease
Sammanfattning : The immune system has to balance the need for a broad protection from infectious agents against the risk of developing autoimmune disease. The elements of the immune system should provide clues about conditions under which physiological autoreactivity may develop into autoaggressive immunity, if analyzed against the background of the immune system in healthy individuals.

5. Immunomodulation by intravenous immunoglobulin : the effect on cytokine production studied at the single-cell level
Sammanfattning : Preparations of pooled human immunoglobulin for intravenous use (IVIg) have an established therapeutic role in immunodeficiencies, Idiopathic Thrombocytopenic Purpura and Kawasaki's disease and has been attempted in other immunologically mediated conditions including autoimmunity, malignancies, bone marrow transplantation and serious infections such as group A streptococcal toxic shock syndrome. The effects of IVIg on cytokine synthesis in peripheral blood mononuclear cells (PBMC) was studied in vitro by applying a new immunohistochemical method for detection of cytokine production at a single cell level.
