11. Immunological mechanisms in systemic autoimmunity : autoantibodies and chemokines in systemic lupus erythematosus and during treatment with TNF inhibitors in rheumatoid arthritis
Sammanfattning : Background. Rheumatoid Arthritis (RA) is an autoimmune inflammatory disease that, without powerful treatment, may lead to irreversible joint damage. During the past decade, anti-cytokine therapy has become available, e.g. LÄS MER
12. HIV-1 variability in relation to host defence mechanisms and disease outcome
Sammanfattning : Genetic variability is a major characteristic of HIV-1. Virus variants evolve rapidly, not only globally, but also within single individuals as a result of an error-prone reverse transcriptase, a rapid virus population turnover and selective pressure from the host. LÄS MER
13. Astrocytes during HIV infection of the brain : relevance for neuropathogenesis
Sammanfattning : The overall aim of the present thesis was to characterize the role that astrocytes play for neuropathogenesis of AIDS dementia complex (ADC). We studied whether it is possible to derive the phenotype of HIV-1 virus by analyzing V3 sequences. LÄS MER
14. A microcell hybrid based elimination test to identify human chromosome 3 regions that antagonize tumor growth
Sammanfattning : Deletions at multiple sites on the short arm of chr3 have been detected in many different types of human tumors. Each of the deleted regions is expected to harbor a tumor antagonizing/suppressor gene(s) (TSG). The earlier studies showed that the tumorigenicity of malignant cells could be suppressed by introducing a single human chr3. LÄS MER
15. Identification of the common eliminated region (CER1) by the microcell hybrid based 'elimination test'
Sammanfattning : The aim of elimination test (Et) is to identify tumor antagonizing genes from chromosome regions that are regularly deleted in microcell hybrid (MCH) derived tumors through serial SCID mice passages. Et so far was focused on the short arm of human chromosome 3 (chr 3) due to its frequent deletions in 21 tumor types including renal cell carcinoma (RCC), small cell lung carcinoma (SCLC) and breast cancer (BRC).
