    Sammanfattning : Antibodies are a central part of the immune defense system, and a large variability in their specificity is needed in order to be able to react against all possible foreign substances we may encounter during our lives. In this thesis, results are presented from investigations into how an egg-laying mammal, the Australian duck-billed platypus (Ornithorhynchus anatinus) creates antibody variability. LÄS MER

  3. 12. Cat and dog allergens : dispersal, exposure and health effects in childhood

    Sammanfattning : The association between pet ownership in childhood and subsequent asthma and sensitisation is very controversial. Intriguing but contradictory reports have caused considerable uncertainty in families who wish to avoid asthma and allergic disease in their children. LÄS MER

  4. 13. Immunological studies of adenoids in children : relation to atopy

    Författare :Georgios Papatziamos; Karolinska Institutet; Karolinska Institutet; []
    Nyckelord :Adenoids; atopy; flow cytometry; immunohistochemistry; IgE; IL-2; IL-4; IFN-gamma; epsilonGL transcripts; IgE cells; IgE plasma cells;

    Sammanfattning : The nasopharyngeal tonsil or adenoids is in constant interaction with our environment with every breath we take. This organ, rich in B cells, contains all the immunocompetent cells necessary for an interaction with T cells, exerted through secretion of cytokines and resulting in the production of immunoglobulins and the formation of memory cells.

  5. 14. The role of miR-203 in keratinocyte biology and psoriasis

    Författare :Tianling Wei; Karolinska Institutet; Karolinska Institutet; []
    Nyckelord :;

    Sammanfattning : Psoriasis is one of the most common chronic inflammatory skin diseases. It is a life long suffering disease affecting approximately 2 to 3% of the population in Scandinavia. Significant progress has been made to understand the cellular immunology and biology of psoriasis. LÄS MER
