11. Inhibitory receptors of natural killer cells : specificity and regulation
Sammanfattning : Immunological surveillance of organs and tissues for pathogens and transformed cells by immune cells and their soluble mediators is of outmost importance for the well-being of the host. The natural killer (NK) cell is an example of such an immune cell. LÄS MER
12. Diversity of CD1d-restricted natural killer T cells
Sammanfattning : The present study deals with natural killer (NK) T cells restricted to the antigen presenting molecule CD1d. NKT cells have been suggested to play a role in many diverse immunological situations such as clearance of different pathogens, protection against certain tumors, regulation of autoimmune reactions and as a link between innate and adaptive immune responses.

13. Mapping the immune landscape in solid tumors : implications for immunotherapy
Sammanfattning : Our cells are programmed with various safety mechanisms to avoid transformation into tumor cells. In case these fail, we have a guarding immune system ready to recognize and eliminate these cells. Despite these safety measurements, cancer is one of the leading causes of death worldwide. The tumor cells find ways to escape the immune system. LÄS MER
14. Antibody Feedback Regulation : From Epitope Masking to T Helper Cell Activation
Sammanfattning : Antibodies have the ability to influence the antibody response against the very antigen they are specific for, in a process called antibody feedback regulation. Depending on the nature of the antigen, the antibody response can be either enhanced or almost completely inhibited. LÄS MER
15. Neuro-immuno-regulation of inflammation in the colonic mucosa : Focus on mast cells and eosinophils in bowel disorders
Sammanfattning : Intestinal homeostasis is key to control uptake across the mucosa and protect from harmful substances. Disturbances in the bidirectional communication between the gut and the brain are implicated in irritable bowel syndrome (IBS) and inflammatory bowel diseases (IBD), being Crohn’s disease (CD) and ulcerative colitis (UC) the two most common IBD subtypes.
