  1. 1. Human candidate polymorphisms and malaria susceptibility in sympatric ethnic groups, The Fulani and The Dogon of Mali

    Författare :Bakary Maiga; Ann-Kristin Östlund Farrants; Lars Hviid; Stockholms universitet; []
    Nyckelord :MEDICIN OCH HÄLSOVETENSKAP; MEDICAL AND HEALTH SCIENCES; Malaria; Fulani; Dogon; Blood group; SNPs; IL-4; FcγRIIa; antibody level; molekylär biovetenskap; Molecular Bioscience;

    Sammanfattning : In malaria endemic regions, resistance to malaria constitutes a critical selective pressureon genetic polymorphisms that regulate immune defense and inflammatory pathways.Differences in malaria susceptibility between sympatric ethnic groups have been described inMali. LÄS MER

  3. 2. Malaria during pregnancy and childhood : A focus on soluble mediators and neutrophils

    Författare :Stéphanie Boström; Marita Troye-Blomberg; Maria Yazdanbakhsh; Stockholms universitet; []
    Nyckelord :NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; Plasmodium falciparum; pregnancy; childhood; neutrophils; biomarkers; cytokines; chemokines; antibodies; Fulani; Dogon; immunologi; Immunology;

    Sammanfattning : In areas where malaria is endemic, pregnant women and children bear the main burden of severe and life-threatening malarial disease. The aim of this work was to study the impact of Plasmodium falciparum infection on inflammatory responses in pregnant women and children residing in African countries. LÄS MER

  4. 3. Novel immunization strategies and interethnic differences in response to malaria infection

    Författare :Charles Arama; Marita Troye-Blomberg; Kai Matuschewski; Stockholms universitet; []
    Nyckelord :NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; Malaria; Immunization; Ethnic groups; vaccines; immunologi; Immunology;

    Sammanfattning : A better understanding of the role of antigen-presenting cells (APCs) in host resistance to malaria is essential to unravel the complex interactions between the host and the parasite. This would improve the design of malaria vaccines. LÄS MER

  5. 4. Characterization of antigen-presenting cell function in vitro and ex vivo

    Författare :Pablo Giusti; Marita Troye-Blomberg; Stefania Varani; David Roberts; Stockholms universitet; []
    Nyckelord :MEDICIN OCH HÄLSOVETENSKAP; MEDICAL AND HEALTH SCIENCES; Immunology; Antigen presentation; Dendritic Cells; Macrophages; Toll-like receptors; Malaria; Microbiology; immunology; infectious diseases; Mikrobiologi; immunologi; infektionssjukdomar; immunologi; Immunology;

    Sammanfattning : Long-term protective immunity depends on proper initiation of professional antigen-presenting cells (APCs). Autoimmune disorders and certain infections can cause disease through modulation of APCs and thereby affecting the outcome of these diseases. LÄS MER

  7. 5. Dendritic cells and Plasmodium falciparum: studies in vitro and in the human host

    Författare :Pablo Giusti; Marita Troye-Blomberg; Stockholms universitet; []
    Nyckelord :MEDICIN OCH HÄLSOVETENSKAP; MEDICAL AND HEALTH SCIENCES; Immunology; Immunologi; immunologi; Immunology;

    Sammanfattning : Malaria is one of the world’s most threatening diseases. About half the world’s population is at risk of infection and the infection claims a million lives each year. A vast majority of the deaths occur in children below the age of 5 in sub-Saharan Africa. LÄS MER
