   Sammanfattning : Bacterial genomes provide records of the molecular processes associated with emergence and evolution of different bacterial lifestyles. This thesis is based on whole-genome comparisons within the genus Bartonella, an excellent model system for studies of host- and vector-specificity and infection outcome in animal-associated bacteria.

3. 2. Strategies for modulation of dendritic cell responses

   Författare :Annette E Sköld; Karolinska Institutet; Karolinska Institutet; []
   Nyckelord :;

   Sammanfattning : With increased knowledge in dendritic cell (DC) biology, innate immune receptors and their ligands, and the shaping of adaptive responses, refined approaches to modulate our immune system are today emerging as treatment strategies for chronic infections and severe cancers. At the center of attention stand DCs – the innate immune cells that orchestrate the adaptive immune responses. LÄS MER
