  1. 16. Studies in DNA immunization

    Författare :Cecilia Svanholm; Karolinska Institutet; Karolinska Institutet; []
    Nyckelord :Chlamydia pneumoniae; DNA vaccine; GM-CSF; HIV-1; hsp60; Nef; Rev; Tat; signal sequence;

    Sammanfattning : This thesis describes investigations and developments of DNA immunization techniques, which were applied in the study of two different pathogens; HIV-1 and Chlamydia pneumoniae. DNA vaccines, i.e. naked plasmid DNA encoding an antigen, represent a novel strategy for generating protective immunity against several infectious diseases. LÄS MER

  3. 17. Innate immunity to intracellular bacterial infections

    Författare :Christian Trumstedt; Karolinska Institutet; Karolinska Institutet; []
    Nyckelord :;

    Sammanfattning : Intracellular bacterial pathogens have developed mechanisms to enter and invade cells, to survive the immune response and to replicate inside the host. We studied the innate mechanisms that have evolved in the host to battle intracellular bacterial pathogens, such as the obligate intracellular Chlamydia pneumoniae and the facultative intracellular Listeria monocytogenes, which invade the respiratory and the gastrointestinal tracts in humans.

  4. 18. Unstable coronary artery disease : Studies on inflammation, infection, hemostasis, and the effects of low-molecular-mass heparin treatment

    Författare :Henrik Toss; Uppsala universitet; []
    Nyckelord :Medical sciences; unstable angina; myocardial infarction; prognosis; inflammation; hemostasis; fibrinolysis; resistance to activated protein C. low-molecular-mass heparin; MEDICIN OCH VÅRD; MEDICINE; MEDICIN; Medicine; medicin;

    Sammanfattning : The occurrence and prognostic importance, of inflammatory activity, signs of Chlamydia pneumoniae infection. APC resistance, hemostasis, and the effects of low-molecular-mass heparin (LMMH) was evaluated in patients with unstable coronary artery disease (UCAD). LÄS MER

  5. 19. Platelets and the inflammatory response in coronary heart disease

    Författare :Petter Järemo; Frank Brosstad; Linköpings universitet; []
    Nyckelord :MEDICINE; MEDICIN;

    Sammanfattning : The thesis investigates a new invented computerised apparatus suitable for determining platelet density distribution and peak platelet density in undisturbed linear Percoll™ gradients. The device measures light transmission through test tubes containing density-separated platelets. LÄS MER

  7. 20. Sudden Cardiac death in Swedish orienteers

    Författare :Lars Wesslén; Uppsala universitet; []
    Nyckelord :Medical sciences; sudden cardiac death; orienteers; myocarditis; arrhythmogenic right ventricular cardiomyopathy; MEDICIN OCH VÅRD; MEDICINE; MEDICIN; infektionssjukdomar; Infectious Diseases;

    Sammanfattning : An accumulation of sudden unexpected cardiac deaths (SUCD) occurred in young Swedish orienteers, most of whom were elite athletes. From 1979 to 1992 the incidence in 18 to 34 year old male elite orienteers ranked on the national level the same year as death was calculated to 30 (per 100,000), which represents a 20 to 40 fold increase from the expected rate.
