  1. 1. On the role of Natural Killer cell immunogenetics for the outcome of immunotherapy in acute myeloid leukemia

    Författare :Brwa Ali Hussein; Göteborgs universitet; []
    Nyckelord :MEDICIN OCH HÄLSOVETENSKAP; MEDICAL AND HEALTH SCIENCES; NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; Natural killer cells; Acute Myeloid Leukemia; immunotherapy; HDC IL-2; NKG2A; NK education; SNPs; NK activating receptors; HLA class I;

    Sammanfattning : Numerous studies have revealed that natural killer cells have fundamental roles as effector cells in myeloid leukemias. Thus, understanding NK cell-related biomarkers that influence clinical outcome are warranted. LÄS MER

  3. 2. Immunotherapy and immunosuppression in myeloid leukemia

    Författare :Alexander Hallner; Göteborgs universitet; []
    Nyckelord :MEDICIN OCH HÄLSOVETENSKAP; MEDICAL AND HEALTH SCIENCES; Natural killer cells; acute myeloid leukemia; histamine dihydrochloride; immunotherapy; reactive oxygen species; chronic myelomonocytic leukemia; NK cell education; NKG2A; HLA; KIR;

    Sammanfattning : Acute myeloid leukemia (AML) and chronic myelomonocytic leukemia (CMML) are potentially life-threatening blood cancers characterized by the expansion of malignant myeloid cells in bone marrow and other organs. This thesis aimed at contributing to the understanding of the role of natural killer (NK) cells in AML and CMML with focus on the potential impact of the immunosuppression exerted by reactive oxygen species (ROS) formed by the myeloid cell NOX2 enzyme.

  4. 3. Targeting residual malignant cells in myeloid leukemia

    Författare :Malin Nilsson; Göteborgs universitet; []
    Nyckelord :MEDICIN OCH HÄLSOVETENSKAP; MEDICAL AND HEALTH SCIENCES; acute myeloid leukemia; chronic myeloid leukemia; histamine dihydrochloride; hydroxyurea; leukemic stem cells;

    Sammanfattning : Malignant cells persisting during treatment prevent cure in many patients with myeloid leukemia. In acute myeloid leukemia (AML), the failure to eradicate the leukemic clone during conventional chemotherapy is associated with leukemic relapse, mostly with dismal survival outcome. LÄS MER

  5. 4. Immunoregulation by mononuclear phagocytes. Mechanisms and clinical implications

    Författare :Ana Romero; Göteborgs universitet; []
    Nyckelord :;

    Sammanfattning : The cytotoxic effector lymphocytes of the immune system, the natural killer (NK) cells and the CD8+ T lymphocytes (CTL), have been ascribed a pivotal role in defense against malignancy. However, the function of these cells is frequently compromised, in particular at sites of malignant cell expansion. LÄS MER
