  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. Viral infections in immunosuppressed patients with hematological malignancies

    Författare :Igge Gustafsson; Karolinska Institutet; Karolinska Institutet; []
    Nyckelord :;

    Sammanfattning : Acute or reactivated viral infections are common in patients who are immunosuppressed because of hematopoietic stem cell transplantation (HSCT) or chemotherapy due to hematological malignancies. The severity of the immunosuppression, the type of immune functions that are affected by various therapeutic interventions, as well as underlying hematological malignancy contributes to viral susceptibility and clinical outcome of the infection.

  4. 3. Influenza specific T- and B-cell responses in immunosuppressed patients

    Författare :Aditya Sai Ambati; Karolinska Institutet; Karolinska Institutet; []
    Nyckelord :;

    Sammanfattning : Influenza, known as the ‘flu’, is a recurrent acute viral infection that might cause severe inflammation, particularly in vulnerable individuals, i.e. young children, the elderly, and immune-suppressed patients, such as stem cell transplant recipients. LÄS MER

  5. 4. The impact of viral vaccines in immunosuppressed and at-risk individuals

    Författare :Anja Rosdahl; Torbjörn Norén; Helena Hervius Askling; Sara Cajander; Leonardus (Leo) Visser; Örebro universitet; []
    Nyckelord :MEDICIN OCH HÄLSOVETENSKAP; MEDICAL AND HEALTH SCIENCES; Vaccine; Vaccine failure; Immunocompromised host; Hepatitis A; Tick borne encephalitis; SARS-CoV-2; Innate immunity; Adaptive immunity;

    Sammanfattning : Vaccines have saved millions of lives, but for some individuals with a defective immune system the protection may be uncertain. This thesis aims to assess the immune response following viral vaccines in immunocompromised patients and in other groups at-risk. LÄS MER

  7. 5. Studies on human polyomavirus infection in immunosuppressed patients with polyoma related tumors

    Författare :Peter Priftakis; Karolinska Institutet; Karolinska Institutet; []
    Nyckelord :;

    Sammanfattning : Polyomaviruses are potentially oncogenic viruses, found in humans, in other mammals and in birds all over the world. The polyomaviruses that have been observed in humans are BK virus (BKV) and JC virus (JCV) as well as the primate polyomavirus Simian Virus 40 (SV40). LÄS MER
