  1. 16. The Immunopathology of Rheumatoid Arthritis and Leishmania donovani Infection in Sudan

    Författare :Amir I. Elshafie; Johan Rönnelid; Anders Bengtsson; Uppsala universitet; []
    Nyckelord :Klinisk immunologi; Clinical Immunology;

    Sammanfattning : Immune complexes (IC) and antibody production against self-antigens play a pathological key role in the development of autoimmunity that occurs in patients with parasitic infections and rheumatic diseases. My studies have targeted two groups of patients from Sudan; patients with visceral leishmaniasis (VL) and patients with rheumatoid arthritis (RA). LÄS MER

  4. 18. From oral infection to autoimmunity : studies of antibodies and B cells on the path towards rheumatoid arthritis

    Författare :Charlotte de Vries; Karolinska Institutet; Karolinska Institutet; []
    Nyckelord :;

    Sammanfattning : Rheumatoid arthritis (RA) is a chronic systemic autoimmune disease characterized by inflammation of the synovial joints, which can lead to irreversible joint destruction and disability if not treated properly. The majority of patients are seropositive, defined by presence of autoantibodies, i.e. LÄS MER

  5. 19. Exploration of host cells during old world alphavirus infection : modulation of RNA granules and the PI3K/AKT pathway

    Författare :Lifeng Liu; Karolinska Institutet; Karolinska Institutet; []
    Nyckelord :;

    Sammanfattning : As obligate intracellular parasites, viruses have to explore and modulate cellular pathways for their survival. Mechanistic studies of virus–host interactions provide a better understanding of viral infection and cellular responses and help to identify potential targets for therapeutic intervention. LÄS MER

  7. 20. Innate immunity in Staphylococcus aureus arthritis and sepsis

    Författare :Margareta Verdrengh; Göteborgs universitet; []
    Nyckelord :MEDICIN OCH HÄLSOVETENSKAP; MEDICAL AND HEALTH SCIENCES; Staphylococcus aureus; mice; sepsis; septic arthritis; neutrophils; monocytes macrophages; GM-CSF; adhesion molecules;

    Sammanfattning : Bacterial arthritis is a severe, rapidly progressing erosive disease with high morbidity and mortality. Staphylococcus aureus is the most common causative bacterium. Granulocytes together with cells from the monocyte/macrophage lineage, are the earliest leukocytes entering the synovial tissue in response to invading staphylococci. LÄS MER
