1. Regulation of growth, differentiation and survival of B-chronic lymphocytic leukemia cells
Sammanfattning : Chronic lymphocytic leukemia of B cell type (B-CLL) is the most commonform of leukemia in the Western countries. The signals regulating theexpansion of the B-CLL clone in vivo is yet far from being fully understood. LÄS MER
2. Tumor-targeted superantigens for experimental immunotherapy of human leukemia/lymphoma
Sammanfattning : Bacterial superantigens (SAgs) have the property of stimulating high proportions of T cells expressing certain TCR Vβ sequences. The SAg first binds with high affinity to HLA class II molecules on the target cell and then stimulates the T cell to produce cytokines and to become cytotoxic. LÄS MER
3. Regulation of T-cell proliferation and B-CLL apoptosis by CD6 and FAS/FASL
Sammanfattning : T-cell activation involves the interaction between the T-cell receptor (TCR) and the peptide/MHC complex presented on an antigen-presenting cell. However, this is not sufficient for the full development of T cell responses and co-stimulatory signals from accessory molecules are required. LÄS MER
4. Targets for immune mediated killing of tumor cells and T cell functions in B-CLL
Sammanfattning : There is a great need for developing and improving treatment alternatives in B-cell chronic lymphocytic leukemia (B-CLL). New therapeutical approaches based on the manipulation of the immune system enable establishment of enhanced control over the malignant clone. LÄS MER
5. Natural specific T cell immunity in patients with B-cell chronic lymphocytic leukaemia (B-CLL) : (A clinical and immunological study)
Sammanfattning : Analysis of TCRBV (T-cell receptor B variable) gene usage of the T cell repertoire in patients with B cell chronic lymphocytic leukaemia (B-CLL) and age-matched healthy control donors showed that major perturbations were more frequently seen in the CD4+ T cell subset than in CD8 population. Analysis of the CDR3 length polymorphism revealed a significantly higher degree of clonality within the CD4+ and CD8+ T cell repertoire of patients as compared to the normal control population.
