1. Molecular characterization of the hepatitis C virus core protein
Sammanfattning : Hepatitis C virus (HCV) is an RNA virus that causes chronic infection, which can lead to hepatocellular carcinomas in humans. Besides liver diseases, the chronic HCV infection causes a broad spectrum of extrahepatic complications such as lymphoproliferative, metabolic and autoimmune disorders. LÄS MER
2. The role of the alpha 7 nicotinic acetylcholine receptor in inflammation and brain injury
Sammanfattning : The alpha 7 nicotinic acetylcholine receptors (α7nAChR) are expressed in the nervous system as well as on peripheral immune cells where it participates in the cholinergic anti-inflammatory pathway. Inflammation is a common component in the pathology of many diseases and injuries, including brain damage. LÄS MER
3. Immunological mechanisms involved in seasonal pollen allergy and allergen-specific immunotherapy
Sammanfattning : Th1/Th2-like T-cell responses were studied by stimulating peripheral blood mononuclear cells (PBMCs) with allergens or antigens followed by restimulation with mitogens to induce high cytokine synthesis. Allergen-stimulation in vitro induced Th2-skewed cytokine synthesis by PBMCs from birch-pollen-allergic patients. LÄS MER
4. Epidemiological and immunological studies of environmental mycobacteria - with focus on Mycobacterium abscessus
Sammanfattning : Mycobacterium avium, M. abscessus and M. gordonae are three mycobacterial species that are ubiquitous in the environment. M. LÄS MER
5. The role of Malassezia in the pathogenesis of atopic eczema/dermatitis syndrome
Sammanfattning : Atopic eczema/dermatitis syndrome (AEDS) is a chronically relapsing skin disease, which is often associated with elevated levels of serum lgE. The immunopathology of AEDS is at present unclear, but it is known that lymphocytes infiltrating the AEDS lesions are predominantly of the CD4+ T helper phenotype. LÄS MER
