    Sammanfattning : This thesis comprises two sections, both of which explore eco-immunology of the innate immune system of mallards (Anas platyrhynchos). The innate immune system serves a pivotal role as the first line of defense against invading pathogens, and is comprised of physical and chemical barriers. LÄS MER

  3. 2. Interferons in antiviral defense and autoimmunity : focus on type 1 diabetes

    Författare :Monica Hultcrantz; Karolinska Institutet; Karolinska Institutet; []
    Nyckelord :Type 1 diabetes; interferons; islets of Langerhans; Coxsackievirus; nonobese diabetic mouse;

    Sammanfattning : Type 1 diabetes (T1D) is a disease characterized by the loss of insulin producing beta-cells in the pancreatic islets of Langerhans. Interferons (IFNs), produced by immune cells and infected parenchymal cells, may be protective or damaging in the pathogenesis of T1D. LÄS MER

  4. 3. Nasal epithelial cells : innate immunity and inflammation

    Författare :Lotta Tengroth; Karolinska Institutet; Karolinska Institutet; []
    Nyckelord :;

    Sammanfattning : The surface epithelium that lines the nasal passages is often the first tissue in the airway to encounter inhaled pathogens. It collaborates closely with the innate immune system, a subsystem of the immune system that defends the host from infection by organisms, mainly by initiating a local inflammatory reaction. LÄS MER
