1. Cytokines and immune balance in preeclampsia : a survey of some immunological variables and methods in the study of preeclampsia
Sammanfattning : Preeclampsia is one of the most feared pregnancy complications, with a risk of maternal and fetal death and with no ideal therapy readily available. The cause of this strictly pregnancyrelated disease is still unknown and is therefore a great challenge to all researchers in the field of pregnancy-related pathophysiology. LÄS MER
2. Feeding Lactobacillus paracasei ssp. paracasei strain F19 to infants during weaning : effects on adaptive immunity and gut microbial function
Sammanfattning : Introduction: Gut microbial composition has been associated with immune-mediated diseases. Breastfeeding yields a microbiota rich in bifidobacteria and promotes colonization by lactobacilli. Bifidobacteria and lactobacilli are considered health-promoting and are used as probiotics, i.e. LÄS MER
3. Co-stimulation in gut mucosal immunity. Evidence of a differential regulationof local and systemic responses
Sammanfattning : In recent years we have learned that co-stimulatory factors are required as second signals for optimal T cell stimulation. Most types of immune responses are, therefore, dependent on the co-stimulatory signals that are provided by infection or immunization. LÄS MER
4. Starch Microparticles as an Oral Vaccine Adjuvant with Emphasis on the Differentiation of the Immune Response
Sammanfattning : Polyacryl starch microparticles have been developed as an oral vaccine adjuvant capable of inducing strong local and systemic immune responses in mice. In this thesis, the starch microparticles were studied in order to increase basic understanding of their function. LÄS MER
5. Immunomodulation in atherosclerosis : impact of Th balance and CD1d-restricted NKT cells
Sammanfattning : Atherosclerosis is a slow and progressive disease consisting of lipid deposition in arterial walls. Studies in both human and experimental animal models have shown the involvement of the immune system in the pathogenesis. LÄS MER
