  1. 1. Cellular Immune Responses to Cytomegalovirus

    Författare :Anna Karin Lidehäll; Olle Korsgren; Thomas Tötterman; Ineke ten Berge; Uppsala universitet; []
    Nyckelord :MEDICIN OCH HÄLSOVETENSKAP; MEDICAL AND HEALTH SCIENCES; Cytomegalovirus; cellular immunology; infection; immune responses; congenital infection; CD4 T cells; CD8 T cells; immunosuppressed; Clinical immunology; Klinisk immunologi;

    Sammanfattning : Cytomegalovirus (CMV) is a widespread infection affecting 50-90% of the human population. A typical silent primary infection is followed by life-long persistence in the host under control by virus-specific CD8 (“killer”) and CD4 (“helper”) T cells. LÄS MER

  3. 2. Maturation of humoral immune responses : Studies on the effects of antigen type, apoptosis and age

    Författare :Karin Lindroth; Carmen Fernández; Kenneth G.C. Smith; Stockholms universitet; []
    Nyckelord :MEDICIN OCH HÄLSOVETENSKAP; MEDICAL AND HEALTH SCIENCES; immunology; B cell; humoral immune response; Immunology; Immunologi;

    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

  4. 3. Puumala hantavirus : immune responses and vaccines

    Författare :Cristina de Carvalho Nicacio; Karolinska Institutet; Karolinska Institutet; []
    Nyckelord :Hantavirus; Puumala virus; nucleocapsid protein; neutralizing antibodies; Fab fragment; combinatorial library; phage-display; IgA; cellular immunity; cross-protection; intranasal vaccination;

    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. 4. Regulatory aspects of innate immune responses

    Författare :Ahmed El Marghani; Per-Erik Olsson; Peter Kjellén; Muhammad Zafarullah; Örebro universitet; []
    Nyckelord :NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; Innate immunity; TOM1L1; inflammatory responses; Biology; Biologi;

    Sammanfattning : Activation of innate immunity is regulated by a variety of signaling molecules within the immune cells. The present thesis was aimed to improve our understanding of innate signaling mechanism and their possible use as bio-indicators of exposure and disease. LÄS MER

  7. 5. Immune responses in human lyme borreliosis : cytokines and IgG subclasses in relation to clinical outcome

    Författare :Mona Widhe; Anders Örn; Linköpings universitet; []
    Nyckelord :MEDICINE; MEDICIN;

    Sammanfattning : Background: Lyme borreliosis is a tick-borne infectious disease caused by the spirochete Borrelia burgdorferi sensu lato. The disease is characterised by several disease stages, where multiple organ systems might be affected, e.g. the skin, nervous system, heart or joints. LÄS MER
