16. Exploring immune cell functions and ways to make use of them
Sammanfattning : In addition to host defense, alternative functions of immune cells are emerging. Immune cells are crucial during healing of injured tissue, in formation of new blood vessels, angiogenesis, and also in maintaining the balance in inflammation having immune regulating functions.

17. Helicobacter pylori infection and immunity. Protection after vaccination and regulation of inflammation in a mouse model
Sammanfattning : Helicobacter pylori infection is an important cause of chronic active gastritis and peptic ulcer disease and a risk factor for the development of gastric cancer. An attractive strategy in the control of H. pylori infection is the development of a safe and effective therapeutic vaccine. Using a mouse model of H. LÄS MER
18. Role of environmental toxins in chronic experimental arthrithis - in search for anti-inflammatory pathways of ethanol and nicotine
Sammanfattning : Rheumatoid arthritis (RA) is a common systemic autoimmune disorder and a debilitating disease affecting 1% of the world population. The etiology of RA is an unresolved issue. Environmental factors such as alcohol intake and cigarette smoke have been described as contributing to the pathogenesis of RA. LÄS MER
19. Factors regulating lymphocyte development and peripheral activation
Sammanfattning : Peripheral tolerance is regulated by different types of regulatory T cells, including CD1-restricted T cells and CD4+CD25+ regulatory T (Treg) cells. This thesis has focused on the interactions between T cells and antigen presenting cells (APCs) and the immunregulatory function of TGF-b as two important factors regulating differentiation and activation of T cells in the periphery.

20. CNS-Targeted Cell Therapy for Multiple Sclerosis
Sammanfattning : Multiple sclerosis (MS) is an autoimmune disorder of the central nervous system (CNS). In the current thesis, we have preformed an immunological investigation of patients with MS and developed an immunosuppressive cell therapy that could be beneficial for these patients. LÄS MER
