6. Immunomodulation by estrogen and estren
Sammanfattning : Estrogen affects the development and regulation of the immune system. Treatment of gonadectomized mice with estrogen results in suppression of T and B lymphopoiesis, as well as decreased delayed type hypersensitivity reaction, granulocyte mediated inflammation and levels of IL-6 in serum.

7. An experimental study on the interaction between the neuro-endocrine and immune systems in the gastrointestinal tract
Sammanfattning : The mucosa lining of the gastrointestinal (GI) tract is in immediate contact with food nutrients to allow a rapid and efficient digestion and absorption and at the same time protects against the incessant risk of attack from pathogenic microbes. Maintenance of normal physiological activities in the GI tract is dependent on a number of regulatory interactions between the nervous, endocrine, and immune systems, as well as environmental and genetic factors.

8. Modulation of pain by immune factors : a study on interferon-g and its receptor in nociceptive transmission
Sammanfattning : Immune cytokines have been implicated as important neuromodulators, contributing to neuronal plasticity both in the adult and developing nervous system. In addition, they have been assigned a potential role in the generation of pathological pain, which may occur as a severe symptom following disease states in the nervous system. LÄS MER
9. Improving NK cell-based immunotherapy of cancer by exploration of migration and inhibitory receptor-ligand interactions
Sammanfattning : The possibility to utilize the immune system as a mean to target malignantly transformed cells has emerged as a novel treatment modality during the last decades and is a field that is under rapid development. Natural Killer (NK) cells are immune cells with an intrinsic ability to recognize and lyse tumor-transformed cells. LÄS MER
10. Papillomavirus binding and entry : The heparan sulfate receptor and inhibition by lactoferrin
Sammanfattning : Papillomaviruses (PVs) infect epithelial cells and are the main causative agent of cervical carcinoma. There are today more than a hundred different PV types and these can be divided into high risk and low risk types. They infect differentiating epithelial cells which make it cumbersome to propagate and produce human papillomavirus (HPV) virions. LÄS MER
