11. Specific and nonspecific immune mechanisms in human gut : a comparative study of normal and ulcerative colitis intestine
Sammanfattning : The intestine, with its large mucosal surface area, digests and absorbs food nutrients and maintains a beneficial microbial flora in the colon. Local protective immune responses against intestinal pathogens ensure the survival of the individual. These immune reactions are both specific and non-specific in nature. LÄS MER
12. Exploration of Conditions Affecting Cytokine Production in Experimental Type 1 Diabetes Mellitus
Sammanfattning : Cytokines are soluble signalling mediators within the immune system, and have been shown to be of importance in the development of type 1 diabetes (T1D). This thesis studied the production of cytokines in experimental models of T1D and during transplantation of insulin-producing islets of Langerhans. LÄS MER
13. Innate and adaptive immune responses in pulmonary sarcoidosis
Sammanfattning : Sarcoidosis is an inflammatory disease characterized by formation of granulomas in various organs and tissues. Although it is a systemic disorder, the lungs are commonly affected, and an infiltration of T cells, in particular CD4pos T helper 1 (Th1) cells, is seen in the lower airways. LÄS MER
14. Immunomodulation and its effector mechanisms in atherosclerosis
Sammanfattning : Atherosclerosis is a disease of the arterial intima, characterized by cholesterol deposition, inflammation and fibrosis. The pathogenesis of atherosclerosis is related to both innate and adaptive immune responses, and modulation of immune reactions in animal models of atherosclerosis affects the progression of the disease.

15. Tumor-targeted superantigens for experimental immunotherapy of human leukemia/lymphoma
Sammanfattning : Bacterial superantigens (SAgs) have the property of stimulating high proportions of T cells expressing certain TCR Vβ sequences. The SAg first binds with high affinity to HLA class II molecules on the target cell and then stimulates the T cell to produce cytokines and to become cytotoxic. LÄS MER
