1. Islet xenotransplantation : An immunological study in the pig-to-mouse model
Sammanfattning : Successful clinical xenotransplantation, i.e., transplantation between species, would eliminate the shortage of donor organs. In order to study the acute cellular rejection reaction following discordant xenogeneic transplantation, an experimental pig-to- mouse islet xenotransplantation model was established. LÄS MER
2. Immune dysregulation in HIV-1 infected lymphoid tissue
Sammanfattning : Lymphoid compartments are major sites for HIV-1 replication. We evaluated cytokines, chemokines and immunological effector function at the single cell level in lymphoid tissues in chronically HIV-1 infected patients. LÄS MER
3. Modulation of tumor sensitivity to effector mechanisms of cytotoxic lymphocytes
Sammanfattning : Today, ample evidence demonstrates a clear role for the immune system in the battle against cancer. However, the relatively high rate of mutation and proliferation of tumor cells, in combination with the selective pressure exerted by the immune system, can potentially lead to the generation of genetically altered tumor cells, which are able to evade recognition by the immune system and continue to grow and form tumors.

4. On the immunopathogenesis of HIV infection
Sammanfattning : CD8+ T-cell dependent clearance of microbial infections by perforin mediated killing of infected cells is a central component in the combat against viral infections. In HIV-1 infected individuals the incidence of virus infected cells in lymphoid tissue, which is the major site for virus production, does not drop, but instead slowly increases as the disease progresses.

5. Characterisation of CD8 T cells in mucosa associated lymphoid tissue : implications for immune control of HIV-1 infection
Sammanfattning : The role of CD8 T cells has been implicated in the partial immune control of HIV-1 infection. Ultimately these cells fail to control the infection and immune deficiency ensues in the absence of antiretroviral therapy. LÄS MER
