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. Immune Changes in Pregnancy : A Survey of some Immunological Variables in Normal and Complicated Pregnancies
Sammanfattning : The maternal systemic immune response during pregnancy is only fragmentarily understood. An adequate immune response to the gestational product is of vital importance for a successful pregnancy. LÄS MER
3. Self reactivity and tolerance in the immune system : studies on T cells in murine type II collagen-induced arthritis
Sammanfattning : .... LÄS MER
4. Commensal microbes, immune reactivity and childhood inflammatory bowel disease
Sammanfattning : Inflammatory bowel disease (IBD) is characterized by chronic and relapsing intestinal inflammation of unknown etiology, but immune activation by the commensal microbiota probably plays a major role. The two major categories of IBD are ulcerative colitis and Crohn’s disease. LÄS MER
5. Studies of in vivo prostate amyloidosis and autoimmune responses towards amyloid structures in neurodegeneration
Sammanfattning : By using multidisciplinary analysis of CA inclusions in prostate glands of patients diagnosed with prostate cancer, we have revealed that their major components are the amyloid forms of S100A8 and S100A9 proteins associated with numerous inflammatory conditions and types of cancer. We have demonstrated that material closely resembling CA can be produced from S100A8/A9 in vitro and shows the characters of amyloids. LÄS MER
