16. Dendritic cell migration to draining lymph node and T-cell priming to Bacille Calmette-Guérin
Sammanfattning : Dendritic cells (DCs) are unique antigen presenting cells that bridge innate and adaptive immunity. DCs sense invading microbes, sample antigen and migrate to the draining lymph node (DLN) where they prime T cells to the microbe. LÄS MER
17. Compartmentalisation of the immune response in human skin : cross-talk between dendritic cells and T cells in healthy conditions and in psoriasis
Sammanfattning : Human skin is highly compartmentalised and distinct subsets of dendritic cells (DCs) and T cells reside in epidermis and dermis. Alterations in the composition of DCs and T cells have been observed in psoriasis, a common cytokine-driven focal inflammatory skin disease. LÄS MER
18. Tolerance and Immunity: Opposite Outcomes of Microbial Antigen Stimulation
Sammanfattning : The immune system is remarkable in many ways. It exerts immunity to defend us from foreign pathogens, while it is also responsible for maintaining tolerance to avoid autoimmune diseases and allergy. This thesis includes three separate papers concerning both tolerance and immunity. LÄS MER
19. Glycan-based interactions of Streptococcus pneumoniae and the host
Sammanfattning : Streptococcus pneumoniae is commonly found as an asymptomatic colonizer of the nasopharynx of children, but it can also translocate to normally sterile body sites and cause severe diseases, like pneumonia, septicemia or meningitis. Pneumococci spread via aerosols. LÄS MER
20. Chemokine Receptor CCR9: Studies on the Generation and Localization of Gut Tropic Lymphocytes
Sammanfattning : Lymphocytes are important mediators of adaptive immune responses. Naive T lymphocytes circulate in the blood and lymph between different secondary lymphoid organs in search for their specific antigen. LÄS MER
