16. Influence of Ly49 inhibitory receptors and MHC class I on T cell and NK cell function
Sammanfattning : Natural Killer cells (NK) can kill virus infected cells and tumor cells but do not harm normal surrounding cells. The function of Ly49 receptors on NK cells is important in maintaining selftolerance since they transmit inhibitory signals when bound to endogenous MHC class I molecules. Their role in T cells is however unclear. LÄS MER
17. Type 1 diabetes : the autoimmune process and islet transplantation
Sammanfattning : Type 1 diabetes (T1D) is an autoimmune disease characterized by the selective loss of the insulin-producing β-cells residing in the islets of Langerhans in the pancreas. Cytokines are involved in diabetes development in the nonobese diabetic (NOD) mouse model. LÄS MER
18. B cell deviations and type 1 diabetes in the NOD mouse
Sammanfattning : Type 1 diabetes (T1D) is a chronic autoimmune disease in which the insulin producing β-cells in the pancreatic islets of Langerhans are selectively attacked by the immune system. The β-cells are destroyed resulting in a reduced or eliminated insulin production, which in turn lead to a high blood glucose level. LÄS MER
19. Heavy metal-induced activation of the murine immune system and autoimmunity : a comparative study of mercury and silver
Sammanfattning : The activation and proliferation ofT- and B-cells induced by treatment with mercuric chloride (HgC12) or silver·nitrate (AgN03) was studied in mouse strains genetically susceptible (SJL, A. SW, A.TH, BALE/C) or resistant (A.TL, BALB. LÄS MER
20. The Perfect Storm? Gluten and type 1 diabetes
Sammanfattning : Aim: The general objective of the present research was to study the association between type 1 diabetes and celiac disease, and the effects of dietary gluten on the risk of developing type 1 diabetes. More specific aims were as follows: to estimate the prevalence of celiac-disease-associated autoantibodies in children with type 1 diabetes; to study the connection between non-HLA genetic risk markers and autoantibodies associated with type 1 diabetes and celiac disease during the first year after diagnosis of type 1 diabetes; to investigate the effect of gluten on the risk of developing type 1 diabetes; to evaluate the impact of perinatal factors on the risk of developing both type 1 diabetes and celiac disease.
