1. Maturation of humoral immune responses : Studies on the effects of antigen type, apoptosis and age
Sammanfattning : The humoral immune response is dependent on the formation of antibodies. Antibodies are produced by terminally differentiated B cells, plasma cells. Plasma cells are generated either directly from antigen challenged B cells, memory cells or from cells that have undergone the germinal center (GC) reaction. LÄS MER
2. Humoral immune responses to allergens in early childhood
Sammanfattning : Sensitivity to eight standardized allergen extracts (Solu-Prick SQ, ALK, Hørsholm, Denmark) was assessed in 1580 schoolchildren. The prevalence of atopic sensitization among these 10-12-year-old children was 3--4 times lower in Estonia (8.1-14.3%) than in Sweden (24. LÄS MER
3. Feedback Enhancement of Immune Responses by IgE, IgM, and IgG3 Antibodies
Sammanfattning : Antibodies can enhance or suppress the immune responses against their specific antigens. This phenomenon is known as antibody-mediated feedback regulation. We have studied the mechanisms underlying IgE-, IgM-, and IgG3-mediated enhancement of immune responses in mouse models using intravenous immunization. LÄS MER
4. Puumala hantavirus : immune responses and vaccines
Sammanfattning : Hantaviruses (family Bunyaviridae) is a group of closely related zoonotic rodent-borne viruses that are transmitted to humans through inhalation of infected rodent excreta. They cause hemorrhagic fever with renal syndrome (HFRS) or hantavirus pulmonary syndrome (HPS) with varying degree of severity depending on the causative virus. LÄS MER
5. Mechanisms for immune escape in epithelial ovarian cancer
Sammanfattning : Tumors develop mechanisms to subvert the immune system, constituting immune escape. Epithelial ovarian cancer (EOC), the deadliest of all gynecological malignancies, uses a variety of mechanisms to undermine immune surveillance, aiding its establishment and metastatic spreading.
