21. Evolutionary aspects of the immunoglobulin heavy chain constant locus
Sammanfattning : The human Ig heavy chain constant locus (IGHC) is composed of nine functional and two pseudo genes. Extensive polymorphism consisting of deletions, duplications and point mutations have been observed in this locus. LÄS MER
22. Leucine-rich repeats and immunoglobulin-like domain (LRIG) proteins : possible prognostic markers in vulvar squamous cell carcinoma, endometrial carcinoma, and oropharymgeal squamous cell carcinoma
Sammanfattning : The human leucine-rich repeats and immunoglobulin-like domain (LRIG) gene family comprises three genes, LRIG1, LRIG2 and LRIG3, which encode the LRIG1, LRIG2 and LRIG3 proteins, respectively. Previous stidies have revealed the different prognostic roles of these proteins in different cancers, and it has been shown that LRIG1 functions as a tumour suppressor in certain cancers via its negative regulation of several receptor tyrosine kinases.

23. Immunoglobulin gene usage and affinity maturation in antiviral antibodies
Sammanfattning : The ability of antibodies to block infections makes them highly relevant for successful vaccine development. Through the papers described in this thesis, I attempt to characterize the functional and genetic aspects of antiviral antibodies induced by infection and vaccination. LÄS MER
24. Telomere analysis of normal and neoplastic hematopoietic cells : studies focusing on fluorescence in situ hybridization and flow cytometry
Sammanfattning : The telomeres are specialized structures at the end of the chromosomes composed of the repeated DNA sequence (TTAGGG)n and specific proteins bound to the DNA. The telomeres protect the chromosomes from degradation and end to end fusions. LÄS MER
25. Investigations of Leucine-rich repeats and immunoglobulin-like domain-proteins 1 and 2 (LRIG1 and LRIG2) and their genes in cancer
Sammanfattning : The mammalian leucine-rich repeats and immunoglobulin-like domains (LRIG) gene family consists of three different members, LRIG1, LRIG2, and LRIG3. These genes are expressed in all human and mouse tissues analyzed to date. LÄS MER
