1. Immunological and Genetic Markers Predicting Treatment Outcome in Hepatitits C Virus Infection
Sammanfattning : Hepatitis C is a blood-borne infection caused by the hepatitis C virus (HCV). A chronic infection, which develops in most infected subjects, may lead to liver cirrhosis with ensuing liver dysfunction and liver cancer. LÄS MER
2. T cells and chemokines in rheumatoid arthritis
Sammanfattning : In this thesis, we investigated if circulating proportions of specific CD4+ T cell subsets and blood chemokine levels were associated with disease activity and/or could predict remission in patients with early rheumatoid arthritis (eRA). We also compared the effect of different biological treatments on both T cell subset proportions and chemokine levels. LÄS MER
3. Antibacterial peptides - key players in host defense at epithelial surfaces
Sammanfattning : Innate host defense mechanisms at epithelial surfaces are important to prevent bacterial invasion. Streptococcus pyogenes, group A streptococcus (GAS), has an affinity for epithelial cells and cause pharyngitis. During streptococcal pharyngitis, high concentrations of the chemokines CXCL9/MIG, CXCL10/IP-10, CXCL11/I-TAC were found in tonsil fluid. LÄS MER
4. Immune maturation and modulation in childhood allergies : Aspects of epigenetic, mucosal and systemic immune mediators in allergy development and prevention
Sammanfattning : The prevalence of allergic diseases has in the past century increased among children in affluent societies. Underlying causes are incompletely disentangled, but decreased diversity in environmental and microbial exposures could drive allergy development. LÄS MER
5. Tick-borne diseases and the central nervous system : clinical and immunological aspects
Sammanfattning : Lyme neuroborreliosis (LNB) is the dominating form of disseminated infection by the tick-borne bacteria Borrelia (B.) burgdorferi in Sweden as well as in Europe. LÄS MER
