1. Immunological Checkpoint Blockade and TLR Stimulation for Improved Cancer Therapy
Sammanfattning : This thesis concerns the investigation of novel immunotherapies for cancer eradication. CpG therapy was used in order to target antigen-presenting cells (APCs), facilitating antigen presentation and activation of T cells. LÄS MER
2. Dysregulated mucosal immune responses in microscopic colitis patients
Sammanfattning : Microscopic colitis (MC), comprising collagenous colitis (CC) and lymphocytic colitis (LC) is a common cause of chronic watery diarrhea. The diagnosis relies on typical histopathological changes observed upon microscopic examination. LÄS MER
3. Development of novel immunization approaches to generate immunity in the female genital tract with special reference to genital herpes
Sammanfattning : Development of mucosal vaccines for inducing immunity in the female reproductive tract would have profound implications for the prevention of sexually transmitted diseases. Despite numerous efforts, no such vaccines are currently available for human use. LÄS MER
4. Signal transduction in macrophages. Intracellular pathways activated by microbial constituents
Sammanfattning : Macrophages play an essential role in the defense against infection by phagocytosis and by production of inflammatory mediators. Such mediators are TNF? and eicosanoids. Many microbial agents elicit arachidonate release in macrophages that lead to the formation of eicosanoids. LÄS MER
5. Novel actions of thrombin-derived host defense peptides
Sammanfattning : Thrombin-derived C-terminal peptides (TCPs) constitute a novel class of immunomodulatory host defense peptides, generated during infection and inflammation. Previous investigations have shown that TCPs of 2-3 kDa inhibit pro-inflammatory immune responses in vitro and in vivo, but their mode of action remained unclear. LÄS MER
