  1. 1. Infectious immunity and pneumococcal vaccine responses in multiple myeloma and related disorders

    Författare :Johanna Karlsson; Göteborgs universitet; []
    Nyckelord :MEDICIN OCH HÄLSOVETENSKAP; MEDICAL AND HEALTH SCIENCES; multiple myeloma; Waldenstrom s macroglobulinemia; MGUS; elderly; immunity; infection; pneumococcal vaccination; ELISA; opsonophagocytosis;

    Sammanfattning : Multiple myeloma (MM), Waldenstrom’s macroglobulinemia (WM), and monoclonal gammopathy of undetermined significance (MGUS) are B cell conditions associated with suppressed immune functions and susceptibility to infection. Severe pneumococcal disease is common not least in MM patients and vaccination is considered important, although the protective efficacy is debated. LÄS MER

  3. 2. Varicella immunity and vaccination

    Författare :Anita Svahn; Karolinska Institutet; Karolinska Institutet; []

    Sammanfattning : Varicella-zoster virus (VZV) is an air-borne, extremely contagious herpesvirus. It causes chickenpox, which usually is a benign illness in childhood. Adults, pregnant women and immunocompromised patients often get a severe disease with complications. After infection the virus stays latent in sensory ganglia. LÄS MER

    Nyckelord :MEDICIN OCH HÄLSOVETENSKAP; MEDICAL AND HEALTH SCIENCES; Type 1 Diabetes; NOD mouse; B cells; IgE; TACI; BAFF; immunologi; Immunology;

    Sammanfattning : The non-obese diabetic (NOD) mouse is widely used model Type 1 diabetes (T1D), a chronic inflammatory disease characterized by destruction of the insulin producing β cells in the islets of Langerhans by immune cells. The classical symptoms include increased glucose levels in urine and blood, frequent urination and enhanced thirst. LÄS MER

  5. 4. Herpesvirus Infection and Immunity in Neurocognitive Disorders

    Författare :Gabriel Westman; Britt-Marie Eriksson; Martin Ingelsson; Olle Korsgren; Jan Ernerudh; Uppsala universitet; []

    Sammanfattning : Herpesviruses have co-speciated with several vertebrate and invertebrate animals throughout the history of evolution. In the immunocompetent human host, primary infection is usually benign, whereafter the virus is brought into life-long latency. LÄS MER

  7. 5. Antigens and antibodies involved in humoral immunity to plasmodium falciparum

    Författare :Mats Wahlgren; Karolinska Institutet; Karolinska Institutet; []
    Nyckelord :;

    Sammanfattning : Malaria plasmodiidae cause more death and disease than any other known human pathogen. The parasite still threatens half of the world population {2.5 billion) and 300 million people are considered to become infected every year. LÄS MER
