1. Mucosal immunity against mycobacterial infection
Sammanfattning : This thesis aimed to the identification of immune biomarkers of mycobacterial infection for better diagnosis of tuberculosis (TB) and also focused on new vaccination strategies with a particular emphasis on the immune responses in the respiratory tract using murine models. Since the lung is the natural habitat for the M. LÄS MER
2. Antibody responses in genital secretions and serum after mucosal vaccination in humans
Sammanfattning : The overall aim of this thesis was to study the induction of B-cell immune responses in genital secretion and serum after mucosal vaccination in women. Oral inactivated B subunit whole-cell (B-WC) cholera vaccine and recombinant cholera toxin B subunit (CTB) alone were used as model immunogens. LÄS MER
3. B- and T- cell responses in colectomized and healthy individuals after mucosal vaccination
Sammanfattning : The overall aims were to study the induction of intestinal and systemic B- and T-cell immune responses in patients colectomized due to ulcerative colitis and in healthy volunteers after mucosal administration of enteric vaccines. An inactivated B-subunit whole-cell (B-WC) cholera vaccine and a live attenuated Salmonella enterica serovar Typhi Ty21a vaccine were used as model immunogens. LÄS MER

5. Nasal vaccination using novel mucosal adjuvants : with main focus on influenza A virus
Sammanfattning : Influenza viruses have sporadically caused pandemics during the last century, with the most severe occurring in 1918 when the “Spanish flu”, an A/H1N1 influenza virus, passed around the globe killing about 20-100 million people. Today 250 000-500 000 deaths occur annually due to influenza virus or secondary infection after influenza, e.g. LÄS MER
