11. Invariant NKT cells and CD1d in HIV-1 infection
Sammanfattning : The invariant natural killer T (iNKT) cells are a subset of T lymphocytes that share characteristics of both innate and adaptive immunity. These cells are defined as T cells restricted by the lipid antigen presenting molecule CD1d and express an invariant T cell receptor (TCR) as well as classical natural killer (NK) cell markers.

12. On the role of Natural Killer cell immunogenetics for the outcome of immunotherapy in acute myeloid leukemia
Sammanfattning : Numerous studies have revealed that natural killer cells have fundamental roles as effector cells in myeloid leukemias. Thus, understanding NK cell-related biomarkers that influence clinical outcome are warranted. LÄS MER
13. Immunogenetic markers in immune mediated diseases
Sammanfattning : The aim of this thesis was to study HLA class II markers, as well as other - MHC and non MHC genes in different immune - mediated diseases, namely, cervical intraepithelial neoplasia (CIN), cervical cancer, juvenile idiopathic arthritis (JIA), mixed connective tissue disease (MCTD) and type I diabetes mellitus (T1 DM). HLA class II genes are located on the short arm of chromosome 6 and are known to be important for pathogenesis of immune-mediated diseases due to the function of the molecules these genes encode.

14. Immunological recognition and tumor escape mechanisms of ovarian carcinoma
Sammanfattning : Ovarian carcinoma is a leading cause of cancer mortality and there is an urgent need for new and better therapeutic modalities that result in improved long-term outcome for this severe malignancy. One promising treatment modality for patients suffering from ovarian carcinoma is immunotherapy. LÄS MER
15. T cells in chronic obstructive pulmonary disease
Sammanfattning : Background: Tobacco smoking is the main cause of chronic obstructive pulmonary disease, COPD, but the mechanisms by which cigarette smoke induces COPD are still elusive. T lymphocytes have been implicated in the pathogenesis of the disease, but their role in the airway inflammation in COPD is not fully understood. LÄS MER
