16. Discovery of targets for tumor immunotherapy using phage display technology
Sammanfattning : This thesis has focused on the development of methods and their applications for the identification of antibodies reactive with tumor associated antigens (TAA). The phage display technology provides a powerful mean to generate antibodies potentially useful for tumor immunotherapy. LÄS MER
17. B cell transcriptomics and immunoglobulin genetics in rheumatoid arthritis
Sammanfattning : Rheumatoid Arthritis (RA) is a complex autoimmune disease characterized by inflammation of the peripheral joints. The exact disease pathology remains to be elucidated, but it has been hypothesized that autoreactive B cells and autoantibodies play a major role in the etiology. LÄS MER
18. Molecular basis for the MHC class II association in rat experimental autoimmune encephalomyelitis
Sammanfattning : This thesis investigates the functional and structural aspects of rat MHC class 11 molecules and studies their influence on MBP- and MOG-peptide induced experimental autoimmune encephalomylitis (EAE) in LEW MHC congenic rat strains. EAE is an animal model for multiple sclerosis (MS) and can be induced in rats with components of the myelin sheath . LÄS MER
19. Interaction Between Drosophila melanogaster mbn-2 Cells and Bacteria
Sammanfattning : Innate immunity relies on a repertoire of germline-encoded non-rearranging pattern recognition receptors that bind to invariant microbial surface molecules. This event initiates a number of signal transduction cascades that lead to humoral and cellular defense responses like synthesis of antimicrobial peptides, phagocytosis and coagulation – mechanisms that efficiently fight infectious microorganisms and have been evolutionary conserved to exist in parallel with the antibody-based adaptive immunity found in vertebrates.

20. Factors regulating lymphocyte development and peripheral activation
Sammanfattning : Peripheral tolerance is regulated by different types of regulatory T cells, including CD1-restricted T cells and CD4+CD25+ regulatory T (Treg) cells. This thesis has focused on the interactions between T cells and antigen presenting cells (APCs) and the immunregulatory function of TGF-b as two important factors regulating differentiation and activation of T cells in the periphery.
