1. Generalized trust and the collective action dilemma of immunization
Sammanfattning : Immunization is one of the most cost-efficient medical treatments available. But the potential for societies to secure the public health benefits generated by vaccinations can be reduced by the collective action dilemma of immunization. LÄS MER
2. Novel immunization strategies and interethnic differences in response to malaria infection
Sammanfattning : A better understanding of the role of antigen-presenting cells (APCs) in host resistance to malaria is essential to unravel the complex interactions between the host and the parasite. This would improve the design of malaria vaccines. LÄS MER
3. Studies in DNA immunization
Sammanfattning : This thesis describes investigations and developments of DNA immunization techniques, which were applied in the study of two different pathogens; HIV-1 and Chlamydia pneumoniae. DNA vaccines, i.e. naked plasmid DNA encoding an antigen, represent a novel strategy for generating protective immunity against several infectious diseases. LÄS MER
4. Immuno Gene Therapy of Rat Brain Tumors with interferon-gamma transfected glioma cells
Sammanfattning : Immunotherapy is a new promising approach in cancer treatment. In the future, it will hopefully offer an alternative to existing brain tumors treatments, which are unable to cure. We have established an experimental, low immunogenic, brain tumor model in the rat. LÄS MER

Sammanfattning : This thesis consists of five papers. In the first two papers we consider a general approach to cash flow valuation, focusing on dynamic properties of the value of a stream of cash flows. The third paper discusses immunization theory, where old results are shown to hold in general deterministic models, but often fail to be true in stochastic models. LÄS MER
