16. The role of leucine-rich repeat glycoproteins/proteoglycans in the assembly of collagen matrices
Sammanfattning : The properties of different connective tissues depend on the synthesis and assembly of macromolecular structures composed of collagen and other extracellular matrix components. Mechanisms modulating these events play important roles in the formation of a functional tissue. LÄS MER
17. Studies on the host immune response during pulmonary TB and during M.tuberculosis / HIV co-infection
Sammanfattning : Population studies have shown that HIV-infected individuals co-infected with Mycobacterium tuberculosis (MTB) are at up to 10-fold higher risk of developing active tuberculosis (TB) than their seronegative counterparts. Co-infected individuals also progress faster to AIDS than patients infected only with the virus. LÄS MER
18. Immune regulation during pulmonary TB and during M. tuberculosis/HIV-1 co-infection
Sammanfattning : Individually, tuberculosis (TB) and acquired immunodeficiency syndrome (AIDS) pose major global health problems and together, they form a deadly liaison. Preventive vaccines for any of the diseases are not yet available. LÄS MER

Sammanfattning : Everyone who has been exposed to influenza or a bacterial infection knows how it feels to be sick. Apart from not being willing to participate in social activities, losing your appetite and experiencing pain, you have also most likely suffered from increased body temperature which defines fever, one of the most prominent signs of an acute ongoing infection.

20. The Role of IgM and Complement in Antibody Responses
Sammanfattning : An intact complement system including the complement receptors 1 and 2 (CR1/2) is crucial for the generation of a normal antibody response in animals and humans. Moreover, activation of the classical pathway is thought to be important since deficiency in complement components C1q, C2, C4 or C3 lead to impaired antibody responses. LÄS MER
