  1. 1. Passive immunization against oral pathogens

    Författare :Carina Krüger; Karolinska Institutet; Karolinska Institutet; []
    Nyckelord :;

    Sammanfattning : Dental caries is one of the most common infectious diseases and Streptococcus mutans (S. mutans) is considered to be the main etiological agent of dental caries. S. mutans possesses a variety of virulence factors that enables it to establish and initiate disease. LÄS MER

  3. 2. Development of a Passive Immunization Strategy Against Atherosclerosis

    Nyckelord :MEDICIN OCH HÄLSOVETENSKAP; MEDICAL AND HEALTH SCIENCES; regression; plaque; peptide; oxidized LDL; immune system; carotid stenosis; cardiovascular diseases; apolipoprotein B-100; atherosclerosis; Kardiovaskulära systemet; Cardiovascular system; vascular injury; ultrasound; antibodies;

    Sammanfattning : Atherosclerosis is a chronic inflammatory disease, characterized by the accumulation of lipids and fibrous tissue in the wall of medium and large-sized arteries. The characteristic culprit of the disease is the atheroma, or atherosclerotic plaque, a patchy thickening of the arterial wall which affects the lumen, inducing various degrees of stenosis. LÄS MER

  4. 3. Hantaviruses : animal models, immunology and pathogenesis

    Författare :Jonas Klingström; Karolinska Institutet; Karolinska Institutet; []
    Nyckelord :Hantavirus; animal models; vaccine; passive immunization; nitric oxide;

    Sammanfattning : Hantaviruses cause two serious and often fatal human zoonotic diseases: hemorrhagic fever with renal syndrome (HFRS) in Eurasia, and hantavirus cardiopulmonary syndrome (HCPS) in the Americas. Hantaviruses are rodent-borne and are transmitted to humans via inhalation of contaminated rodent excreta. LÄS MER

  5. 4. Lactobacillus mediated targeting of gastrointestinal pathogens

    Författare :Kasper Krogh Andersen; Karolinska Institutet; Karolinska Institutet; []
    Nyckelord :;

    Sammanfattning : The mucosal membranes of the gastrointestinal, genitourinary and respiratory tract are the main targets for infection in the human body and are repeatedly challenged by pathogens. Passive immunization using delivery of antibodies at the mucosal membrane may thus provide a new first line of defense against these pathogens. LÄS MER

  7. 5. Adverse Reactions after Vaccination and Allergen-Specific Immunotherapy: Contact Allergy to Aluminium and Itching Nodules

    Författare :Eva Netterlid; Yrkes- och miljödermatologi; []
    Nyckelord :MEDICIN OCH HÄLSOVETENSKAP; MEDICAL AND HEALTH SCIENCES; MEDICIN OCH HÄLSOVETENSKAP; MEDICAL AND HEALTH SCIENCES; Patch test; Itching nodules; Contact allergy; ASIT; Aluminium; Allergen-specific immunotherapy; Adverse event; Parental reports; vaccination;

    Sammanfattning : The aim of the work presented in this thesis was to investigate two different types of adverse reactions, persistent itching nodules and contact allergy to aluminium, after immunization with aluminium-containing vaccines and aluminium-containing allergen extracts used for allergen-specific immunotherapy (ASIT). The first paper describes active parental reporting of adverse events (AEFIs) after a booster dose of diphtheria-tetanus vaccine (DT). LÄS MER
