1. Viral proteins as serological antigens - Development and clinical applications
Sammanfattning : Serological methods are based on the detection of antibodies and antigens in mainly serum but also in other body fluids such as cerebrospinal fluid (CSF). Conventional whole virus antigens are widely used in viral serological assays. LÄS MER
2. Immune and gene therapies for cancer and infectious diseases
Sammanfattning : Annually more than 20 million deaths are globally caused because of infections or cancer. This accounts for 41.5% of annual deaths. New techniques are supposed to constitute our tools in the fight against these types of deaths. LÄS MER
3. Epidemiological studies of host susceptibility in malignant lymphomas and colorectal cancer
Sammanfattning : The aim of this thesis was to investigate the role of host susceptibility in malignant lymphomas and colorectal cancer. Specifically, the associations between infection and malignant lymphomas, skin cancer and survival from subsequent cancer, and the association between inflammatory bowel disease, familial disease, and colorectal cancer were assessed using Swedish population-based and nation-wide registers.

4. Immune response in human tonsil tissue
Sammanfattning : Pathogenic mechanisms responsible for tonsillar hypertrophy (TH) in children suffering from obstructive sleep apnea syndrome (OSAS) were studied and compared with children with recurrent tonsillitis (RT) and infectious mononucleosis (IM), respectively. In an initial study the clinical consequences of OSAS caused by TH was investigated. LÄS MER
5. Epidemiological analysis of viral infections as risk factors for multiple sclerosis
Sammanfattning : Viral childhood diseases have been implicated in the pathogenesis of multiple sclerosis (MS). Swedish mass vaccination programmes resulted in radical changes in the panorama of the targeted infections. Vaccines against measles, mumps and rubella were implemented in the early 1970s. LÄS MER
