1. 6. Cartilage proteins and their arthritogenic properties in arthritis

   Författare :Stefan Carlsén; Immunologi; []
   Nyckelord :MEDICIN OCH HÄLSOVETENSKAP; MEDICAL AND HEALTH SCIENCES; transplantation; Immunologi; serologi; serology; Immunology; HLA-DR4; tolerance; COMP; CXI; CIX; arthritis; Cartilage; collagen;

   Sammanfattning : In this thesis the role of cartilage proteins and their potential as antigen and availability to the immune system in arthritis were investigated. Six papers are included; where four present new animal models for Rheumatoid arthritis (RA), one shows how genetic disorders in cartilage may affect arthritis and the last how posttranslational modification of collagen type II (CII) affects tolerance.

3. 7. Modulation of immune responses in murine collagen induced arthritis

   Författare :Fredrik Bäckström; Göteborgs universitet; []
   Nyckelord :Experimental arthritis; type II collagen; immunomodulation; oral tolerance;

   Sammanfattning : Murine collagen-induced arthritis (CIA) is the most common model for studying human rheumatoid arthritis (RA). Autologous or heterologous type II collagen (CII) emulsified in Freund´s complete adjuvant induces arthritis in susceptible mice, which is histopathologically similar to RA. LÄS MER

   Sammanfattning : Rheumatoid arthritis (RA) is an autoimmune inflammatory disease that leads to degradation of cartilage and bone mainly in peripheral joints. In collagen-induced arthritis (CIA), a mouse model for RA, activation of autoimmune CD4+ T cells depends on a molecular recognition system where T-cell receptors (TCRs) recognize a complex between the class II MHC Aq protein and CII259-273, a glycopeptide epitope from type II collagen (CII).

5. 9. Analysis of effector pathways in arthritis

   Författare :Nandakumar Kutty Selva; Immunologi; []
   Nyckelord :MEDICIN OCH HÄLSOVETENSKAP; MEDICAL AND HEALTH SCIENCES; Immunologi; transplantation; Genetik; cytogenetics; Arthritis; mice; monoclonal antibody; collagen type II; Histology; histochemistry; cytochemistry; Histologi; tissue culture; cytokemi; histokemi; Genetics; vävnadskultur; serologi; cytogenetik; Immunology; serology;

   Sammanfattning : Rheumatoid arthritis (RA) is a multifactorial, polygenic autoimmune disease. For effective treatment and control of RA, understanding of disease pathways and identification of genes involved are essential. Animal models are efficient tools to identify such pathogenic mechanisms and genes underlying the disease process. LÄS MER

7. 10. Dendritic cell presentation of type II collagen

   Författare :Meirav Holmdahl; Lund Dermatologi och venereologi; []
   Nyckelord :MEDICIN OCH HÄLSOVETENSKAP; MEDICAL AND HEALTH SCIENCES; Medicin människa och djur ; Medicine human and vertebrates ; chromosome 2; arthritis; proteases; antigen presentation; Dendritic cell; type II collagen;

   Sammanfattning : Type II collagen (CII) is the main protein component of cartilage and immune recognition of CII plays a critical role for the development of collagen induced arthritis (CIA), a widely used animal model for rheumatoid arthritis (RA). Antigen presentation is an important requirement for the immune response, the more efficient presentation of the antigen the better tolerance will be induced and thereby protect against arthritis.
