  1. 11. HIV-induced humoral immune response with specific relevance to IgA

    Författare :Pia Skott; Karolinska Institutet; Karolinska Institutet; []
    Nyckelord :HIV; secretory lgA; neutralizing antibodies; mucosal immunity;

    Sammanfattning : Human Immunodeficiency Virus (HIV) transmission occurs primarily after hetero- and homosexual contact and across mucosal surfaces. The immune response in mucosal tissues is typified by secretory immunoglobulin A (SIgA), which is the predominant lg class in human external secretions. LÄS MER

    Författare :Ashok Kumar Kumawat; Elisabeth Hultgren-Hörnquist; Johan Bohr; Curt Tysk; Allan Sirsjö; Samuel Lundin; Örebro universitet; []
    Nyckelord :MEDICIN OCH HÄLSOVETENSKAP; MEDICAL AND HEALTH SCIENCES; MEDICIN OCH HÄLSOVETENSKAP; MEDICAL AND HEALTH SCIENCES; MEDICIN OCH HÄLSOVETENSKAP; MEDICAL AND HEALTH SCIENCES; Microscopic colitis; collagenous colitis; lymphocytic colitis; intraepithelial lymphocytes; lamina propria lymphocytes; T cell receptor excision circle; T helper cells; cytotoxic T lymphocyte and mucosal cytokines; Biomedicin; Biomedicine;

    Sammanfattning : Microscopic colitis (MC) is a chronic diarrhoeal disease of unknown aetiology, comprising collagenous colitis (CC) and lymphocytic colitis (LC). The nature of the adaptive local immune responses in the mucosa of MC patients is however far from elucidated. LÄS MER

  4. 13. Candida albicans adaption to host microenvironments drives immune evasion

    Författare :José Pedro Lopes; Constantin F. Urban; Alistair Brown; Umeå universitet; []
    Nyckelord :MEDICIN OCH HÄLSOVETENSKAP; MEDICAL AND HEALTH SCIENCES; fungi; candida albicans; neutrophils; mast cells; immune evasion; mycoses; infectious diseases; immunologi; Immunology; Infectious Diseases; infektionssjukdomar; Molecular Immunology; molekylär immunologi;

    Sammanfattning : Immunosuppressed patients are frequently afflicted with severe mycoses caused by opportunistic fungal pathogens. Besides being a commensal colonizing predominantly skin and mucosal surfaces, Candida albicans is the most common human fungal pathogen. LÄS MER

  5. 14. Mucosal Immunity in Mycobacterial infections

    Författare :Anna Tjärnlund; Marita Troye-Blomberg; Andrzej Pawlowski; Anders Örn; Stockholms universitet; []
    Nyckelord :NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; Immunology; Immunologi; immunologi; Immunology;

    Sammanfattning : More than a century after the identification of the tubercle bacillus and the first attempts at vaccination, tuberculosis (TB) still remains one of the world’s most serious infectious diseases. TB, caused by the bacterium Mycobacterium tuberculosis, is typically a disease of the lung, which serves both as port of entry and as the major site of disease manifestation. LÄS MER

  7. 15. Tear Secretory IgA: A Noninvasive Biomarker of Mucosal Immune Competence

    Författare :Helen Hanstock; Neil Walsh; Michael Gleeson; Bangor University; []
    Nyckelord :MEDICIN OCH HÄLSOVETENSKAP; MEDICAL AND HEALTH SCIENCES;

    Sammanfattning : Since early studies investigated the influence of exercise on salivary secretory IgA(SIgA) in the 1980s, there has been demand for non-invasive biomarkers capableof monitoring the immune response to exercise, training and stress, and provideinsight into whether such stressors may influence susceptibility to URTI. In spiteof >30 years of research and ~200 original articles investigating a multitude ofcandidate markers, this tool remains elusive. LÄS MER
