  1. 21. B cell regulation in autoimmune disease

    Författare :Shan Wang; Karolinska Institutet; Karolinska Institutet; []
    Nyckelord :;

    Sammanfattning : Our immune system protects us from both foreign antigens and self-derived autoantigens by sophisticated regulation. During an immune response, the innate and adaptive parts of the immune system closely collaborate at every stage of the response. LÄS MER

  3. 22. Novel approaches for cancer immunotherapy

    Författare :Fredrik Eriksson; Karolinska Institutet; Karolinska Institutet; []
    Nyckelord :;

    Sammanfattning : Cancer immunotherapy, i.e. activation of the patient s own immune system to combat cancer, represents a treatment strategy which is being clinically tested to complement surgery, radiotherapy and chemotherapy the current cornerstones of our fight against cancer. LÄS MER

  4. 23. Immune mechanisms and potential immunological treatment in atherosclerosis

    Författare :Shailesh Kumar Samal; Karolinska Institutet; Karolinska Institutet; []
    Nyckelord :;

    Sammanfattning : Our immune system is an important and central part of the defence mechanisms of our body. It carries out various important functions such as protecting us from invading microorganisms, removing dead cells, and producing antibodies for future defence. For this, proper synchronization between the innate and adaptive immunity is required. LÄS MER

  5. 24. Human dendritic cells : a study of early events during pathogen recognition and antigen endocytosis

    Författare :Peter Hellman; Malmö högskola; []
    Nyckelord :MEDICIN OCH HÄLSOVETENSKAP; MEDICAL AND HEALTH SCIENCES; dendritic cells; zeolites;

    Sammanfattning : The mononuclear phagocyte cell system includes monocytes, macrophages anddendritic cells which are important cells in order to recognize, ingest, destroyand also present part of a pathogen to T-lymphocytes in order to activate theadaptive immune system. Dendritic cells (DCs) stand out in their ability tostimulate T-lymphocytes and are also believed to be important to keeptolerance for “self-antigens”. LÄS MER

  7. 25. On the immunopathogenesis of systemic lupus erythematosus - Immune complexes, type I interferon system, complement system and platelets

    Författare :Christian Lood; Reumatologi och molekylär skelettbiologi; []
    Nyckelord :MEDICIN OCH HÄLSOVETENSKAP; MEDICAL AND HEALTH SCIENCES; systemic lupus erythematosus; autoimmunity; rheumatology; immunology; cardiovascular disease;

    Sammanfattning : Systemic lupus erythematosus (SLE) is an autoimmune rheumatic disorder characterized by inflammation in several organ systems. SLE patients have an impaired ability to clear dying cells which leads to the exposure of several nuclear antigens which might break self tolerance. LÄS MER
