1. Interferon-Υ and interleukin-4 in health and disease : Studies on Borrelia infection, inflammatory polyneuropathies and normal pregnancy
Sammanfattning : Background: The immune system needs stringent regulation in order to effectively eliminate infecting agents and, at the same time, protect the body from immunemediated tissue destruction. T cells have a major role in this regulation by secreting cytokines. LÄS MER
2. Elimination of circulation IgA and IgS immune complexes : An experimental study in mice, rats and guinea pigs
Sammanfattning : Immune complexes were formed between dinitrophenyl- (DNP-) conjugated human serum albumin (HSA) and anti-DNP antibodies (monoclonal mouse IgA or polyclonal rabbit IgG). Blood clearance and tissue distribution of intravenously injected labelled antigen and immunecomplex preparations were studied in mice, rats and guinea pigs. LÄS MER
3. Immune Complex Regulated Cytokine Production in Rheumatic and Lymphoproliferative Diseases
Sammanfattning : Immune complexes (ICs) are produced during normal immune responses and facilitate clearance of foreign antigens. ICs not efficiently cleared from the circulation can cause tissue damage. This might happen if ICs are formed with autoantibodies and autoantigens. LÄS MER
