1. Regulation of B cell development by antigen receptors
Sammanfattning : The developmental processes of lymphopoiesis generate mature B lymphocytes from hematopoietic stem cells through increasingly restricted intermediates. Networks of transcription factors regulate these cell fate choices and are composed of both ubiquitously expressed and B lineage-specific factors. LÄS MER
2. TRAPC : a novel triggering receptor expressed on antigen presenting cells
Sammanfattning : The triggering receptor expressed on myeloid cells (TREM) family of receptors plays an important role in innate immunity. They have been described to regulate the course of sepsis, DC maturation, bone modulation and microglial function, and as markers for bacterial infections. LÄS MER
3. The Multiple Faces of Genetically-Modified T Cells : Potential Applications in Therapy
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
4. Structural Basis of Immune Receptor Binding by Staphylococcal Superantigens
Sammanfattning : Superantigens (SAgs) are toxins capable of inducing a massive immune response, leading to severe disease. They are secreted by the bacteria Staphylococcus aureus and Streptococcus pyogenes, which produce the staphylococcal enterotoxins and streptococcal pyogenic exotoxins, respectively. LÄS MER
5. CAR T cells for Immunotherapy of Cancer
Sammanfattning : In recent years, immunotherapy has revolutionized cancer treatment by prolonging survival and even curing patients lacking other available therapies. Besides immune checkpoint inhibitors, one of the major advances is attributed to the success of chimeric antigen receptor (CAR)-T cell therapy in treating patients with B-cell malignancies. LÄS MER
