  1. 1. Expansion of circulatory Vγ9Vδ2 T cells in tularemia and Pontiac fever, two intracellular bacterial diseases with widely different clinical expression

    Författare :Michal Kroca; Dieter Kabelitz; Umeå universitet; []
    Nyckelord :MEDICIN OCH HÄLSOVETENSKAP; MEDICAL AND HEALTH SCIENCES; Immunology; Francisella tularensis; Gamma-delta T cell; Legionella; Legionellosis; Lymphocyte; T cell Tularemia; Immunologi; Immunology; Immunologi; immunologi; Immunology;

    Sammanfattning : Although well established that human Vγ9Vδ2 T cells may expand in circulation during intracellular bacterial infections, most underlying studies included only a few cases and only some diseases had been studied so far. In tularemia, a severe invasive disease, only one patient had been described. LÄS MER

  3. 2. Characterization of human gamma delta T cells in allogeneic hematopoietic stem cell transplantation

    Författare :Ahmed Gaballa; Karolinska Institutet; Karolinska Institutet; []
    Nyckelord :;

    Sammanfattning : Over the last five decades, allogeneic hematopoietic stem cell transplantation (HSCT) has evolved rapidly, continuing to offer a cure for several hematological diseases. Nevertheless, associated life-threatening complications remain an obstacle against exploiting its full therapeutic benefit. LÄS MER

  4. 3. Bacterial Regulation of Peripheral Immunity : Mechanistic insights from lactobacilli and Staphylococcus aureus

    Författare :Manuel Mata Forsberg; Eva Sverremark-Ekström; Monika Brunner-Weinzierl; Stockholms universitet; []
    Nyckelord :NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; Immune regulation; Cytokines; T cells; gamma-delta T cells; MAIT cells; NK cells; Lactobacillus; Staphylococcus aureus; staphylococcal enterotoxins; molekylär biovetenskap; Molecular Bioscience;

    Sammanfattning : There is a constant cross-talk between our immune system and the colonizing microbiota. The gut resident bacteria produce a broad range of molecules with regulatory activities in both local and distal tissues. Staphylococcus (S. LÄS MER

  5. 4. Neoehrlichiosis - latent infection of endothelium and immune defense

    Författare :Linda Wass; Göteborgs universitet; []
    Nyckelord :MEDICIN OCH HÄLSOVETENSKAP; MEDICAL AND HEALTH SCIENCES; Neoehrlichia mikurensis; neoehrlichiosis; human; infectious disease; endothelial cell; T cell;

    Sammanfattning : This thesis is a study of the tick-borne pathogen Neoehrlichia (N.) mikurensis that causes the infectious disease neoehrlichiosis in humans. The disease affects both individuals with competent and suppressed immune defense with the majority of the affected being immunosuppressed. LÄS MER

  7. 5. T cell mediated immunity in malaria and mycobacterial infection : a protective role for gd+ T cells

    Författare :Shewangizaw Worku; Karolinska Institutet; Karolinska Institutet; []
    Nyckelord :Malaria; Plasmodium falciparum; Plasmodium. vivax; Mycobacteria; Mycobacterium tuberculosis; BCG; T lymphocytes; T cell receptor; [gamma][delta] T cells; [alpha][beta] T cells;

    Sammanfattning : T cell mediated immunity is essential against intracellular infections. Studies of cell mediated immunity are important for the optimal design and development of effective vaccines. Identifying correlates of protective immunity will also enable measurement of vaccine efficiency. LÄS MER
