  1. 16. Mycobacterium tuberculosis and HIV coinfection : Effects on innate immunity and strategies to boost the immune response

    Författare :Anna-Maria Andersson; Robert Blomgran Julinder; Marie Larsson; Olle Stendahl; Susanna Brighenti; Linköpings universitet; []
    Nyckelord :;

    Sammanfattning : Tuberculosis (TB) still remains a big threat today, being the leading cause of death by a single infectious agent. The TB epidemic is fueled by HIV along with the increasing drug-resistance which prolongs the already long treatment duration and decreases the success rate for curing TB. LÄS MER

  3. 17. Role of macrophage receptor MARCO in host defense

    Författare :Marko Sankala; Karolinska Institutet; Karolinska Institutet; []
    Nyckelord :MARCO; innate immunity; scavenger receptor.;

    Sammanfattning : Innate immunity, the first line of defense against infectious microorganisms, appeared early in evolution. Innate immunity relies on specialized cells such as macrophages that are the first to encounter pathogens during infection. LÄS MER

  5. 19. Structure and biological properties of scavenger receptor MARCO

    Författare :Annika Brännström; Karolinska Institutet; Karolinska Institutet; []
    Nyckelord :;

    Sammanfattning : Macrophages are monocyte-derived cells that play an important role in the innate immune response against invading pathogens. These cells express several host defense receptors that can be divided into two classes; those dependent on opsonizing components for recognition of pathogens, and those that can recognize pathogens directly, pattern recognition receptors (PRRs).

  7. 20. Characterization of host and microbe interactions affecting adherence, clearance and systemic spread of S. pneumoniae

    Författare :Sofia Dahlberg; Karolinska Institutet; Karolinska Institutet; []
    Nyckelord :;

    Sammanfattning : Streptococcus pneumoniae (the pneumococcus) mainly gives rise to diseases of the respiratory tract, such as pneumonia, acute otitis media and sinusitis, but it also causes severe invasive diseases, such as meningitis and sepsis. The pneumococcus accounts for approximately two million deaths world-wide every year, the majority of which are children in developing countries. LÄS MER
