1. Immunomodulatory properties of steroid hormones
Sammanfattning : Recent epidemiological, clinical and experimental evidence have suggested that steroid hormones play an important role in immune responses and in immune-mediated diseases. Many autoimmune diseases are treated with corticosteroids. LÄS MER
2. Adoptive T Cell Therapy for Treatment of Metastatic Melanoma
Sammanfattning : Malignant melanoma is a common type of solid tumor that causes high cancer-related mortality in young adults of Northern Europe. The incidence of melanoma increases rapidly which renders us a special responsibility to investigate this disease in depth. LÄS MER
3. Adoptive T Cell Therapy of Viral Infection and Cancer : Ex vivo Expansion of Cytomegalovirus- and Prostate Antigen-specific T Cells
Sammanfattning : The main focus of my thesis has been to develop protocols for generating antigen-specific cytotoxic T lymphocytes (CTLs) and T helper cells (TH) for adoptive transfer to treat cytomegalovirus (CMV) disease and prostate cancer. CMV viremia is a severe complication in immunocompromised stem cell transplanted patients. LÄS MER
4. Improvement of adoptive T-cell therapy for Cancer
Sammanfattning : Cancer immunotherapy has recently made remarkable clinical progress. Adoptive transfer of T-cells engineered with a chimeric antigen receptor (CAR) against CD19 has been successful in treatment of B-cell leukemia. LÄS MER
5. Allogeneic stem cell transplantation in children : identification and prevention of complications : adoptive transfer of EBV-immunity
Sammanfattning : Allogeneic stem cell transplantation (SCT) can cure leukaemia, aplastic anaemia, and some inborn errors of metabolism and immunodeficiencies in children. As only 113 of patients who need SCT have an HLA-identical sibling, the use of alternative donors has increased, to over 50% of all paediatric SCTs at our centre. LÄS MER
