26. Towards a Refined Model of Neutrophil Motility
Sammanfattning : The ability of human polymorphonuclear leukocytes (PMNL; neutrophils), to sense and move to sites of infection is essential for our defense against pathogens. Cell motility is critically dependent on a dynamic remodeling of morphology. LÄS MER
27. Interactions between Streptococcus pyogenes and the Human Immune System
Sammanfattning : Streptococcus pyogenes is a common human pathogen causing mild infections such as tonsillitis and pharyngitis, but is also the cause of life-threatening conditions. To be able to infect the human host, S. pyogenes express different virulence factors. The surface-expressed M protein is a major virulence factor of S. LÄS MER
28. Mechanisms of Escherichia coli induced transepithelial neutrophil migration
Sammanfattning : Mucosal infections trigger an inflammatory response that includes the secretion of cytokines and the recruitment of neutrophils to the infected site. This thesis describes studies examining the molecular mechanisms of neutrophil migration to sites of mucosal bacterial infection. Escherichia coli (E. LÄS MER
29. Monocyte and Neutrophil Inflammatory Responses to the Periodontopathogen Porphyromonas gingivalis
Sammanfattning : Periodontitis is one of the most common adult infections. Duing bacteremia in healthy individuals or patients with chronic periodontitis, a number of oral bacteria such as Porphyromonas gingivalis encounter inflammatory cells in the blood eg. platelets, neutrophils and monocytes.

30. Neisseria gonorrhoeae and Lactobacillus from initial adherence to effects on human cells
Sammanfattning : The causative agent of gonorrhoea Neisseria gonorrhoeae (gonococcus) colonises the urogenital tract epithelia. The vaginal tract microbiota of healthy females is dominated by Lactobacillus species. In paper I, the ability of lactobacilli to protect cervical cells against gonococcal adherence was investigated.
