  1. 21. Human dendritic cells in blood and airways during respiratory viral infection

    Författare :Faezzah Baharom; Karolinska Institutet; Karolinska Institutet; []
    Nyckelord :;

    Sammanfattning : The air we inhale contains oxygen necessary for life, but also potentially harmful microorganisms, toxins and allergens. This presents an important immunological dilemma: how can our lungs quickly and selectively eliminate harmful agents without inflicting damage on the delicate tissues of the lungs? We have thus evolved a network of cells involved in immune surveillance, made up of dendritic cells (DCs), monocytes and macrophages. LÄS MER

  3. 22. Genetic and antigenic characterisation of Puumala virus in voles and man

    Författare :Jan Hörling; Karolinska Institutet; Karolinska Institutet; []
    Nyckelord :;

    Sammanfattning : The present study has focused on the genetic and antigenic characteristics of Puumala (PUU) virus, the causative agent of nephropathia epidemica (NE). An assay for detection of neutralising antibodies to PUU virus was developed. LÄS MER

  4. 23. Human natural killer cell activation and differentiation in health and viral infection

    Författare :Niklas Björkström; Karolinska Institutet; Karolinska Institutet; []
    Nyckelord :;

    Sammanfattning : Natural killer (NK) cells are lymphocytes that belong to the innate immune system. They are important for the early defense against viral infections and provide tumor Immune surveillance against both solid tumors and leukemias as well as in settings of hematopoietic stem cell transplantation.

  5. 24. Puumala virus dynamics in bank voles along habitat and community gradients : the ecology and risk of an emerging infectious disease

    Författare :Hussein Khalil; Sveriges lantbruksuniversitet; Sveriges lantbruksuniversitet; []
    Nyckelord :NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES;

    Sammanfattning : The majority of recent infectious disease outbreaks are zoonotic, i.e. caused by pathogens shared between humans and other vertebrates, and many of those originate in wildlife. The life cycle of zoonotic diseases is complex, and involves at least one non-human host. LÄS MER

  7. 25. Distribution of puumala virus in Sweden

    Författare :Clas Ahlm; Umeå universitet; []
    Nyckelord :MEDICIN OCH HÄLSOVETENSKAP; MEDICAL AND HEALTH SCIENCES;

    Sammanfattning : Puumala virus, belonging to the genus hantavirus, is the causative agent of nephropathia epidemica (NE), a relatively mild form of hemorrhagic fever with renal syndrome. Puumala virus occurs endemically in Central and Northern Europe and Western Russia. LÄS MER
