  1. 21. The role of B cells in rheumatoid arthritis

    Författare :Maria Rehnberg; Göteborgs universitet; []
    Nyckelord :MEDICIN OCH HÄLSOVETENSKAP; MEDICAL AND HEALTH SCIENCES; B cells; Rheumatoid arthritis; B cell depletion therapy;

    Sammanfattning : It has been known for a long time that B cells play a role in rheumatoid arthritis (RA). By production of autoantibodies, presentation of auto-antigens and by producing cytokines B cells may contribute to the pathogenesis of RA. In recent years it has been shown that anti-B cell therapy is a powerful tool in the treatment of RA. LÄS MER

  5. 24. Mechanisms underlying impaired humoral immunity in primary and chronic HIV-1 infection

    Författare :Kehmia Titanji; Karolinska Institutet; Karolinska Institutet; []
    Nyckelord :HIV-1 infection; HIV-2 infection; B cells; primary HIV-1 infection; immune activation; hypergammaglobulinemia; long-term humoral immunity; antiretroviral therapy;

    Sammanfattning : B cells of HIV-1-infected patients have both phenotypic and functional dysfunctions which may be important in HIV-1 pathogenesis. Immune activation during HIV infection is an essential part of the body s defense against the virus, but may be the root cause of B cell dysfunctions. LÄS MER
