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. T cell and antibody responses in Plasmodium falciparum malaria and their relation to disease susceptibility

   Författare :Salah Eldin Farouk; Marita Troye-Blomberg; Hannah Akuffo; Stockholms universitet; []
   Nyckelord :MEDICIN OCH HÄLSOVETENSKAP; MEDICAL AND HEALTH SCIENCES; P. falciparum; Malaria; Granulysin; Fulani; Schizont; Immunology; Immunologi;

   Sammanfattning : Malaria antigen-induced polarization of T cells into effectors Th1 and/or Th2 cells and their subsequent release of cytokines is known to affect antibody production. This thesis includes studies on early innate responses to the parasite, with a focus on γδT cells, and acquired specific responses in African sympatric ethnic tribes. LÄS MER

4. 3. 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

5. 4. Antibody responses and Fc gamma receptor IIa polymorphism in relation to Plasmodium falciparum malaria

   Författare :Nnaemeka C. Iriemenam; Klavs Berzins; Marita Troye-Blomberg; Philippe Deloron; Stockholms universitet; []
   Nyckelord :MEDICIN OCH HÄLSOVETENSKAP; MEDICAL AND HEALTH SCIENCES; malaria; Plasmodium falciparum; blood-stage; antibodies; antigens; logistic models; risk factors; age factors; merozoites; IgG subclasses; Fc gamma RIIa; single nucleotide polymorphism; ethnicity; endemicity; disease susceptibility; Immunology; Immunologi; immunologi; Immunology;

   Sammanfattning : Immunity to asexual blood-stage of Plasmodium falciparum malaria is believed to be associated with protective antibodies of certain immunoglobulin classes and subclasses. This thesis addressed the importance of antibodies in relation to malaria infection and their effective interactions with Fc gamma receptor IIa (FcyRIIa) polymorphisms. LÄS MER

7. 5. Single nucleotide polymorphisms related to immune responses in Plasmodium falciparum malaria

   Författare :Amre Nasr; Klavs Berzins; Marita Troye-Blomberg; Gehad ElGhazali; Thor Theander; Stockholms universitet; []
   Nyckelord :NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; FcγRIIa-R H131; CRP genotypes; GM KM allotypes; IgG; and malaria; Sudan; Immunology; Immunologi; immunologi; Immunology;

   Sammanfattning : The current research is directed towards dissection of host genetic factors involved in host immune response and the malaria disease outcome. A possible association between FcγRIIa polymorphism and anti-malarial antibody (A.M.A) responses were investigated in Sudanese patients in relation to clinical outcome of falciparum malaria. LÄS MER
