  1. 16. An experimental study on the interaction between the neuro-endocrine and immune systems in the gastrointestinal tract

    Författare :Bi-Feng Qian; Eva Ekblad; Umeå universitet; []
    Nyckelord :MEDICIN OCH HÄLSOVETENSKAP; MEDICAL AND HEALTH SCIENCES; MEDICIN OCH HÄLSOVETENSKAP; MEDICAL AND HEALTH SCIENCES; gastrointestinal tract; neuro-endocrine system; substance P; vasoactive intestinal polypeptide; vagus nerves; mucosal immune system; T lymphocytes; cytokines; inflammation; mouse;

    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.

    Sammanfattning : Urinary tract infections (UTI) are among the most common infections in man. Despite their prevalence, information on the molecular mechanisms defects that explain the increased susceptibility to disease are lacking. LÄS MER

  4. 18. Mucosal adjuvants and their mode of action in the female genital tract

    Författare :Madelene Lindqvist; Göteborgs universitet; []

    Sammanfattning : Sexually transmitted infections (STIs) cause a socioeconomic burden, morbidity and even mortality in a large part of the human population all over the world today. One of the most common genital ulcerative diseases is caused by herpes simplex virus type 2 with over 536 million people infected world-wide. LÄS MER

  5. 19. Mucosal and systemic immune responses in HIV-1 exposed uninfected individuals

    Författare :Klara Hasselrot; Karolinska Institutet; Karolinska Institutet; []
    Nyckelord :;

    Sammanfattning : Human immunodeficiency virus (HIV) is an infectious agent that, for 26 years, has evaded vigorous attempts to invent either a cure or preventive agent. Even though the immunological understanding of HIV s pathogenesis has greatly improved, most knowledge has been gained from studies of systemic compartments but less from the mucosal environment, where the majority of all infections occur.

  7. 20. Mast cells: bad enemies or good friends? : A study of the effects of IgG immune complexes on mast cell biology

    Författare :Lisa M Larsson; Göteborgs universitet; []
    Nyckelord :MEDICIN OCH HÄLSOVETENSKAP; MEDICAL AND HEALTH SCIENCES; Mast cell; Fc receptor; Apoptosis; Immune complex; Adjuvant; CTA1-DD.;

    Sammanfattning : Mast cells are classically defined as bad enemies to human health due to their critical involvement in IgE-dependent allergy by virtue of the expression of the high affinity IgE receptor, FcgammaRI, on these cells. However, mouse mast cells also express FcgammaRIIB and FcgammaRIIIA, two receptors that bind IgG especially in the form of IgG immune complexes. LÄS MER
