16. Immunological studies of adenoids in children : relation to atopy
Sammanfattning : The nasopharyngeal tonsil or adenoids is in constant interaction with our environment with every breath we take. This organ, rich in B cells, contains all the immunocompetent cells necessary for an interaction with T cells, exerted through secretion of cytokines and resulting in the production of immunoglobulins and the formation of memory cells.

17. Immune mechanisms in atherosclerosis
Sammanfattning : Atherosclerosis is a multifactorial chronic inflammatory disorder. Humoral immune factors as anticardiolipin antibodies (aCL), anti-oxLDL antibodies, circulating immune complexes (CICs), and proinflammatory cytokines such as IFN-gamma, TNF-alpha and EL-1beta have been implicated in atherogenesis.

18. Experimental Chagas disease
Sammanfattning : The main focus of this thesis was to develop and utilise experimental models using the protozoan parasite Trypanosoma cruzi. We were especially interested in studying the activation of NK cells early after T. cruzi infection and what factors that predispose to a chronic inflammatory disease after T. cruzi infection.

19. Enhancing T cell mediated immunity in DNA vaccination
Sammanfattning : For centuries infectious diseases have been one of the main causes of death in the world. With the invention of vaccine technology 200 years ago, we have been able to impede and even eradicate several dangerous pathogens. LÄS MER
20. Platelet-activating factor and lysophospatidylcholine in oxidized low density lipoprotein-mediated immune activation
Sammanfattning : Inflammation is a risk factor for development of cardiovascular disease, as in addition to known risk factors such as hypertension, hyperlipidemia, smoking and diabetes. Patients with inflammatory diseases including SLE have an enhanced risk of cardiovascular disease. LÄS MER
