    Sammanfattning : A treatment strategy for cancer is the suppression of tumor growth by directing an immune response to the tumor vessels, which will destroy the tissue.In this thesis we describe the development of a vaccine that targets antigens expressed around angiogenic vasculature in most solid tumors.

  3. 7. Helicobacter pylori infection and immunity. Protection after vaccination and regulation of inflammation in a mouse model

    Författare :Sukanya Raghavan; Göteborgs universitet; []
    Nyckelord :MEDICIN OCH HÄLSOVETENSKAP; MEDICAL AND HEALTH SCIENCES; Helicobacter pylori; formalin-inactivated H. pylori; post-immunization gastritis; cholera toxin; CD4 CD25 regulatory T cells; CpG ODN;

    Sammanfattning : Helicobacter pylori infection is an important cause of chronic active gastritis and peptic ulcer disease and a risk factor for the development of gastric cancer. An attractive strategy in the control of H. pylori infection is the development of a safe and effective therapeutic vaccine. Using a mouse model of H. LÄS MER

  4. 8. CD1d restricted NKT cells in regulation of pathogenic autoimmunity

    Författare :Anna Teige; Neurokirurgi; []
    Nyckelord :MEDICIN OCH HÄLSOVETENSKAP; MEDICAL AND HEALTH SCIENCES; Autoimmunity; NKT cells; CD1d antigen presentation; Multiple sclerosis; Rheumatoid arthritis;

    Sammanfattning : Human autoimmune diseases such as reumatoid arthritis (RA) and multiple sclerosis (MS) are believed to develop when self-tolerance mechanisms are failing, with a chronic destructive inflammation as result. To experimentally study autoimmunity, we have used murine models that mimic their human counterparts; experimental autoimmune encephalomyelitis (EAE) – a model for MS, and collagen induced arthritis (CIA) and antigen induced arthritis (AIA) – models for RA.

  5. 9. Phenotype and function of intestinal CD103+ dendritic cells

    Författare :Elin Jaensson Gyllenbäck; Immunologi; []
    Nyckelord :MEDICIN OCH HÄLSOVETENSKAP; MEDICAL AND HEALTH SCIENCES; CD103; dendritic cell; CX3CR1; small intestine; MLN; CCR9; Vitamin A; retinoic acid;

    Sammanfattning : Mucosal tissues such as the intestine present an enormous surface area to the outside environment and are continually exposed to foreign antigens in food and microflora. Thus, the intestinal mucosa must must remain tolerant to these innocuous antigens while at same time be able to mount effective immune responses to pathogens. LÄS MER

  7. 10. Characterisation of epitope-specific B cells and the role of IgG Fc sialylation in murine arthritis models

    Författare :Alexander Krämer; Karolinska Institutet; Karolinska Institutet; []
    Nyckelord :;

    Sammanfattning : Autoimmune diseases are a major burden for society and economy. One of the most common autoimmune diseases is rheumatoid arthritis (RA) characterized by joint inflammation, swelling and pain. If left untreated, it ultimately leads to disability. LÄS MER
