    Nyckelord :NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; Plasmodium falciparum; pregnancy; childhood; neutrophils; biomarkers; cytokines; chemokines; antibodies; Fulani; Dogon; immunologi; Immunology;

    Sammanfattning : In areas where malaria is endemic, pregnant women and children bear the main burden of severe and life-threatening malarial disease. The aim of this work was to study the impact of Plasmodium falciparum infection on inflammatory responses in pregnant women and children residing in African countries. LÄS MER

    Sammanfattning : According to WHO, leishmaniasis is endemic in 98 countries, and has been placed ninth in a global analysis of infectious diseases. Treatment of leishmaniasis is based on pentavalent antimonials but toxicity and developing resistance have been reported. LÄS MER

  5. 9. T cell and antibody responses in Plasmodium falciparum malaria and their relation to disease susceptibility

    Författare :Salah Eldin Farouk; Marita Troye-Blomberg; Hannah Akuffo; Stockholms universitet; []
    Nyckelord :MEDICIN OCH HÄLSOVETENSKAP; MEDICAL AND HEALTH SCIENCES; P. falciparum; Malaria; Granulysin; Fulani; Schizont; Immunology; Immunologi;

    Sammanfattning : Malaria antigen-induced polarization of T cells into effectors Th1 and/or Th2 cells and their subsequent release of cytokines is known to affect antibody production. This thesis includes studies on early innate responses to the parasite, with a focus on γδT cells, and acquired specific responses in African sympatric ethnic tribes. LÄS MER

  7. 10. Characterization of antigen-presenting cell function in vitro and ex vivo

    Författare :Pablo Giusti; Marita Troye-Blomberg; Stefania Varani; David Roberts; Stockholms universitet; []
    Nyckelord :MEDICIN OCH HÄLSOVETENSKAP; MEDICAL AND HEALTH SCIENCES; Immunology; Antigen presentation; Dendritic Cells; Macrophages; Toll-like receptors; Malaria; Microbiology; immunology; infectious diseases; Mikrobiologi; immunologi; infektionssjukdomar; immunologi; Immunology;

    Sammanfattning : Long-term protective immunity depends on proper initiation of professional antigen-presenting cells (APCs). Autoimmune disorders and certain infections can cause disease through modulation of APCs and thereby affecting the outcome of these diseases. LÄS MER
