  1. 16. The Multiple Faces of Genetically-Modified T Cells : Potential Applications in Therapy

    Författare :Victoria Hillerdal; Magnus Essand; Johanna Olweus; Uppsala universitet; []
    Nyckelord :MEDICIN OCH HÄLSOVETENSKAP; MEDICAL AND HEALTH SCIENCES; cancer immunotherapy; genetically engineered T cells; chimeric antigen receptor; T cell receptor; antigen-specific T cells; immunotherapy; Immunologi; Immunology; Klinisk immunologi; Clinical Immunology;

    Sammanfattning : In this PhD thesis the potential of T-cells as therapy for disease are explored. The applications of genetically modified T-cells for treatment of cancer and autoimmune disease; the functionality and optimal activation of T-cells are discussed. LÄS MER

  3. 17. Regulatory T cells : molecular and clinical aspects

    Författare :Malin E Winerdal; Karolinska Institutet; Karolinska Institutet; []
    Nyckelord :;

    Sammanfattning : In the immune system’s tug of war with cancer, tolerance mechanisms by which the tumor can control anti-tumor immune responses play a central role in determining the outcome. Regulatory T cells (Treg) induced in the thymus or the periphery, represent one such tolerance mechanism that potentially can be exploited by developing tumors. LÄS MER

  4. 18. Immune maturation and lymphocyte characteristics in relation to early gut bacteria exposure

    Författare :Sophia Björkander; Eva Sverremark Ekström; Hanne Frøkiær; Stockholms universitet; []
    Nyckelord :NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; Allergy; cell-free supernatant; chemokines; colonization; cytokines; FOXP3; immune-maturation; lactobacilli; lymphocytes; NK-cells; Staphylococcus aureus; unconventional T-cells; molekylär biovetenskap; Molecular Bioscience;

    Sammanfattning : At birth, the immune system is immature and the gut microbiota influences immune maturation. Staphylococcus aureus (S. aureus) and lactobacilli are part of the neonatal gut microbiota and have seemingly opposite effects on the immune system. S. LÄS MER

  5. 19. The immortalization process of T cells : with focus on the regulation of telomere length and telomerase activity

    Författare :Sofie Degerman; Göran Roos; John Sedivy; Umeå universitet; []
    Nyckelord :immortalization; senescence; T cells; Nijmegen breakage syndrome; telomere; telomerase; hTERT; generic aberrations; methylation; MEDICINE; MEDICIN; Pathology; patologi;

    Sammanfattning : Cellular immortalization is a major hallmark of cancer and is a multi-step process that requires numerous cell-type specific changes, including inactivation of control mechanisms and stabilization of telomere length. The telomeres at the chromosome ends are essential for genomic stability, and limit the growth potential of most cells. LÄS MER

  7. 20. Towards Immunotherapy of Midgut Carcinoid Tumors

    Författare :Sofia Vikman; Thomas Tötterman; Valeria Giandomenico; Bengt Widegren; Uppsala universitet; []
    Nyckelord :Immunology; midgut carcinoid; gene expression; immunotherapy; tumor antigen; VMAT-1; T cell; HLA-A*0201-binding peptide; IFNγ; regulatory T cell; Immunologi;

    Sammanfattning : Classical midgut carcinoids belong to neuroendocrine tumors of the gastroenteropancreatic tract (GEP-NETs) and are associated with serotonin overproduction. The term midgut is derived from the tumors’ embryological site of origin: enterochromaffin cells in the lower jejunum, ileum, caecum and the ascending colon. LÄS MER
