  1. 21. Inflammatory mediator response to Gram-positive and Gram-negative bacteria in vitro and in middle ear infections

    Författare :Susann Skovbjerg; Göteborgs universitet; []
    Nyckelord :Gram-positive; Gram-negative; bacteria; cytokines; monocytes macrophages; phagocytosis; Streptococcus pneumoniae; autolysin; acute otitis media; secretory otitis media; children; probiotics;

    Sammanfattning : Based on the structure of the cell wall, bacteria are divided into Gram-positive and Gram-negative. While the cell wall of Gram-positive bacteria is thick, the cell wall of Gram-negatives is very thin and surrounded by an outer membrane with LPS. LÄS MER

  3. 22. Th1, Th2 and Treg associated factors in relation to allergy

    Författare :Camilla Janefjord; Maria Jenmalm; Karin Fälth-Magnusson; Örjan Strannegård; Linköpings universitet; []
    Nyckelord :MEDICIN OCH HÄLSOVETENSKAP; MEDICAL AND HEALTH SCIENCES; Pediatrik; allergologi; Paediatric medicine; Pediatrisk medicin;

    Sammanfattning : Background: Immune responses are often divided into T helper 1 (Th1), Th2 and Treg like immunity. Allergy is associated with Th2 like responses to allergens and possibly to reduced regulatory functions. LÄS MER

  4. 23. Immunological and clinical long-term effects of idiotype vaccination in multiple myeloma patients

    Författare :Amir Osman Abdalla; Karolinska Institutet; Karolinska Institutet; []
    Nyckelord :Idiotype; vaccination; multiple myeloma; T cell response;

    Sammanfattning : In spite of the promising results shown by new anti-myeloma agents, multiple myeloma (MM) remains incurable and additional therapy to overcome the inevitable disease recurrence is greatly needed. Immunotherapy is currently under evaluation as a novel alternative or complementary therapy in many cancer types. LÄS MER

  5. 24. Immune responses to lipopolysaccharide in relation to allergic disease : a TLR4 gene polymorphism and endotoxin exposure

    Författare :Anna Lundberg; Malin Fagerås Böttcher; Outi Vaarala; Marita Troye-Blomberg; Linköpings universitet; []
    Nyckelord :MEDICINE; MEDICIN;

    Sammanfattning : Background: Allergic diseases have increased during the last decades, particularly in affluent countries, possibly due to a reduced and/or altered microbial exposure during infancy. Activation of the immune system by microbes early in life is probably required for accurate maturation of the immune system and tolerance development. LÄS MER

  7. 25. Early life cytokines, viral infections and IgE-mediated allergic disease

    Författare :Anna-Karin Larsson; Marita Troye-Blomberg; Gunnar Lilja; Maria Jenmalm; Stockholms universitet; []
    Nyckelord :NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; IgE-sensitisation; childhood; cytokine; viral infection; atopy; single nucleotide polymorphism; cord blood; Immunology; Immunologi;

    Sammanfattning : Background: The reasons why some individuals become IgE-sensitised and allergic are largely unknown, though genetic- and early life environmental factors seem to be of importance.Objective: The overall aim of this thesis was to investigate the relationship between IgE-sensitisation and allergic disease, viral infections, genetic markers and early life cytokines.
