1. Modulation of B cell access to antigen by passively administered antibodies : an explanation for antibody feedback regulation?
Sammanfattning : Antibody responses can be up- or down-regulated by passive administration of specific antibody together with antigen. Depending on the structure of the antigen and the antibody isotype, responses can be completely suppressed or enhanced up to a 1000-fold of what is seen in animals immunized with antigen alone.

2. Dendritic cell presentation of type II collagen
Sammanfattning : Type II collagen (CII) is the main protein component of cartilage and immune recognition of CII plays a critical role for the development of collagen induced arthritis (CIA), a widely used animal model for rheumatoid arthritis (RA). Antigen presentation is an important requirement for the immune response, the more efficient presentation of the antigen the better tolerance will be induced and thereby protect against arthritis.

3. The quality control of MHC class I antigen presentation
Sammanfattning : Major histocompatibility complex (MHC) class I molecules present antigenic peptides to CD8+ T cells. The peptides are generated by proteasomes in the cytosol, then translocated across the membrane of the endoplasmic reticulum (ER) by the transporter associated with antigen processing (TAP). LÄS MER
4. Antigen presentation by dendritic cells and immunomodulation by cholera toxin B subunit. Implications for vaccine development
Sammanfattning : Antigen presentation by dendritic cells is the first event that takes place upon initiation of an acquired immune response. The inductive events during antigen presentation will essentially govern the orientation and the magnitude of the subsequent immune responses. LÄS MER
5. Tapasin - The star of the show in HLA-I maturation
Sammanfattning : Human leukocyte antigen class I (HLA-I) molecules are present on the cell surface of all nucleated cells. They bind intracellular peptides and present them to the immune system thus providing a readout to cytotoxic T-cells about the status of a cell. LÄS MER
