16. Dendritic cell interactions with Gram negative bacteria
Sammanfattning : The interaction between murine bone marrow-derived dendritic cells (DC) and the Gram negative bacteria Salmonella typhimurium and Escherichia coli have been characterised. These studies showed that DC phagocytosed and processed S. typhimurium and E. LÄS MER
17. Therapeutic dendritic cell vaccination against human papillomavirus
Sammanfattning : Cervical cancer, which is caused by infection with human papillomavirus (HPV), is the second most common cancer among women worldwide, leading to 230000 deaths annually. The two currently available HPV vaccines can only be used prophylactically, so they are of no use to the 291 million women who are already infected and at risk of developing cancer. LÄS MER
18. Dendritic cells in allergy In vitro models for studies of the human immune response
Sammanfattning : This thesis, which is based on four original papers, deals with human dendritic cells (DCs) in immunity and allergy. DCs play a key role in the regulation of immune responses by acting as the sentinels of the immune system, specialized in the uptake of a diverse range of antigens. LÄS MER
19. Immunomodulatory Effects of Human ImmunodeficiencyVirus (HIV-1) on Dendritic Cell and T cell Responses : Studies of HIV-1 effects on Dendritic cell functionality reflected in primed T cells
Sammanfattning : The human immunodeficiency virus (HIV)-1 is the causative agent of acquired immune deficiency syndrome (AIDS) worldwide. Till date there are no vaccines or cure for this infection as the virus has adapted myriad ways to remain persistent in the host where it causes severe damage to the immune system. LÄS MER
20. Experimental brain tumors, dendritic cells and immunotherapy
Sammanfattning : Malignant astrocytomas are the most common primary tumors of the adult central nervous system. Surgical resection of tumor mass in combination with radiotherapy and chemotherapy is only palliative and there is a clear need for new and more effective therapeutic strategies. LÄS MER
