  1. 1. Nitric Oxide Regulation during Anti-tumor Immunotherapy

    Författare :Wiaam Badn; Neurokirurgi; []
    Nyckelord :MEDICIN OCH HÄLSOVETENSKAP; MEDICAL AND HEALTH SCIENCES; MEDICIN OCH HÄLSOVETENSKAP; MEDICAL AND HEALTH SCIENCES; transplantation; Immunologi; serology; Immunology; Medicin människa och djur ; immunotherapy; Medicine human and vertebrates ; immunosuppression; PGE2; Nitric oxide; serologi;

    Sammanfattning : During tumor progression a strong immunosuppression is developed and is believed to be the major reason why immunotherapy fails. This suppression is induced in response to factors produced from tumor cells, but can also be induced after immunotherapy. LÄS MER

  3. 2. Immune modulation in serous epithelial ovarian cancer : focus on the role of tumor-derived exosomes

    Författare :Alireza Labani Motlagh; Lucia Mincheva-Nilsson; Ola Winqvist; Umeå universitet; []
    Nyckelord :MEDICIN OCH HÄLSOVETENSKAP; MEDICAL AND HEALTH SCIENCES; ovarian cancer; EOC; HGSC; exosomes; NKG2D; MICA B; ULBP; DNAM-1; PVR; nectin-2; lncRNAs; immune suppression; anti-tumor immunity; NK-cell cytotoxicity; cytokines; Th1; Th2; T regulatory response; inflammation; tumor microenvironment;

    Sammanfattning : Serous epithelial ovarian cancer (EOC) is a potent suppressor of the immune defense. Here, we studied interactions between EOC and the immune system that lead to escape from tumor immune surveillance. LÄS MER

  4. 3. Enhancing T cell mediated immunity in DNA vaccination

    Författare :Jan Alvar Lindencrona; Karolinska Institutet; Karolinska Institutet; []
    Nyckelord :DNA vaccination; CTL; T cell; IFN-gamma; anti-tumor immunity; HER-2 neu; Influenza; LCMV; Virus-Like Particles; murine models; adjuvants; immunotherapy;

    Sammanfattning : For centuries infectious diseases have been one of the main causes of death in the world. With the invention of vaccine technology 200 years ago, we have been able to impede and even eradicate several dangerous pathogens. LÄS MER

  5. 4. Immunity and immunosuppression in the tumor-host interaction

    Författare :Max Petersson; Karolinska Institutet; Karolinska Institutet; []
    Nyckelord :Tumors; MHC class 1; natural processed peptides; T cells; NK cells; IFN-[gamma]; IL-10; TAP;

    Sammanfattning : With the advent of new methods in molecular biology and in peptide isolation, a number of tumor-associated antigens and their epitopes have been identified and characterized. However, tumors often grow progressively evolving different mechanisms of immune escape, resulting in resistance to MHC class I-restricted tumor-specific T cells. LÄS MER

  7. 5. Adaptive immunity in urothelial cancer : molecular and clinical aspects

    Författare :David Krantz; Karolinska Institutet; Karolinska Institutet; []
    Nyckelord :;

    Sammanfattning : In the battle between the immune system and cancer, tolerance mechanisms otherwise protective against autoimmunity, are exploited to halt the anti-tumor immune response. In this model, tumors turn distinct parts of the immune system against each other; suppressive cells such as regulatory T cells (Tregs) are hijacked to obstruct effector lymphocytes in their attempt to eradicate the tumor.
