16. Inheritance of autoimmune neuroinflammation
Sammanfattning : Multiple sclerosis (MS) is a chronic neuro-inflammatory disease with anticipated complex etiology. Susceptibility to MS is conferred by numerous genes, with very low odds ratios that explain minute fractions of disease. This indicates that unknown factors are responsible for the remaining genetic contribution, termed the missing heritability. LÄS MER
17. Immunotherapy and immunosuppression in myeloid leukemia
Sammanfattning : Acute myeloid leukemia (AML) and chronic myelomonocytic leukemia (CMML) are potentially life-threatening blood cancers characterized by the expansion of malignant myeloid cells in bone marrow and other organs. This thesis aimed at contributing to the understanding of the role of natural killer (NK) cells in AML and CMML with focus on the potential impact of the immunosuppression exerted by reactive oxygen species (ROS) formed by the myeloid cell NOX2 enzyme.

18. Immunoregulation by mononuclear phagocytes. Mechanisms and clinical implications
Sammanfattning : The cytotoxic effector lymphocytes of the immune system, the natural killer (NK) cells and the CD8+ T lymphocytes (CTL), have been ascribed a pivotal role in defense against malignancy. However, the function of these cells is frequently compromised, in particular at sites of malignant cell expansion. LÄS MER
19. Affibody molecules for proteomic and therapeutic applications
Sammanfattning : This thesis describes generation and characterization of Affibody molecules with future applications in proteomics research, protein structure determinations, therapeutic treatment of disease and medical imaging for in vivo diagnostics. Affibody molecules are engineered affinity proteins developed by combinatorial protein engineering from the 58-residue protein A-derived Z domain scaffold. LÄS MER
20. Immune modulation by mesenchymal stem cells
Sammanfattning : Mesenchymal stem cells (MSCs) were discovered as adherent cells in the bone marrow stroma that could form bone and stimulate hematopoiesis. Later, MSCs were shown to be hypoimmunogenic and to suppress proliferation of activated T cells. LÄS MER
