1. Studies of Regulatory T cells with Implications for Clinical Applications
Sammanfattning : Regulatory T cells (Tregs) are vital for regulating immune homeostasis and for preventing immunopathology. The immunosuppressive functions of Tregs have raised hope for their potential use in clinical applications. LÄS MER
2. T cells in colon cancer; migration and effector functions
Sammanfattning : Immune cells are recognised as one of the main players in the tumor microenvironment and targeted by many new cancer therapies. Regulatory T cells (Treg) can suppress tumor infiltrating lymphocytes which are associated with a better patient outcome. LÄS MER
3. Factors regulating lymphocyte development and peripheral activation
Sammanfattning : Peripheral tolerance is regulated by different types of regulatory T cells, including CD1-restricted T cells and CD4+CD25+ regulatory T (Treg) cells. This thesis has focused on the interactions between T cells and antigen presenting cells (APCs) and the immunregulatory function of TGF-b as two important factors regulating differentiation and activation of T cells in the periphery.

4. T Regulatory Cells – Friends or Foes?
Sammanfattning : T regulatory cells (Tregs) have been extensively studied in patients with cancer or autoimmunity. These cells hamper the immune system’s ability to clear tumor cells in cancer patients. In autoimmune diseases, on the other hand, they are not able to restrain autoreactive immune responses. LÄS MER
5. Posttransplant Lymphoproliferative Disorders : Studies of Epstein-Barr Virus, Regulatory T Cells and Tumor Origin
Sammanfattning : Epstein-Barr virus (EBV) infects almost all humans and establishes lifelong latency in B cells. Posttransplant lymphoproliferative disorder (PTLD) is a rare but serious complication after transplantation triggered by immunosuppression and often related to EBV infection. LÄS MER
