  1. 16. Early diagnosis of cytomegalovirus infection using monoclonal antibodies and DNA amplification

    Författare :Benita Zweygberg Wirgart; Karolinska Institutet; Karolinska Institutet; []
    Nyckelord :cytomegalovirus; monoclonal antibodies; polymerase chain reaction; CMV early antigen; CMV pp65antigen.;

    Sammanfattning : Human cytomegalovirus (HCMV) is ubiquitous and frequently infects normal individuals with few serious clinical consequences. However, patients with impaired cellular immunity frequently develop life-threatening opportunistic HCMV infections due to either primary infection or reactivation of latent virus. LÄS MER

  3. 17. Feeding Lactobacillus paracasei ssp. paracasei strain F19 to infants during weaning : effects on adaptive immunity and gut microbial function

    Författare :Christina West; Olle Hernell; Marie-Louise Hammarström; Outi Vaarala; Umeå universitet; []
    Nyckelord :MEDICIN OCH HÄLSOVETENSKAP; MEDICAL AND HEALTH SCIENCES; adaptive immunity; allergy; complementary food; eczema; gut microbiota; infections; probiotics; short-chain fatty acids; Th1 Th2; weaning; Paediatric medicine; Pediatrisk medicin;

    Sammanfattning : Introduction: Gut microbial composition has been associated with immune-mediated diseases. Breastfeeding yields a microbiota rich in bifidobacteria and promotes colonization by lactobacilli. Bifidobacteria and lactobacilli are considered health-promoting and are used as probiotics, i.e. LÄS MER

  4. 18. Standardization and application of quantitative PCR methods in patients with hematological malignancies

    Författare :Maria Malec; Karolinska Institutet; Karolinska Institutet; []
    Nyckelord :Polymerase chain reaction; RQ-PCR; Minimal Residual Disease; Acute leukemia; Hodgkin s Lymphoma; cytokines;

    Sammanfattning : Using modem combination chemotherapy regimens, it has been possible to increase the rate of complete remission (CR) in acute lymphoblastic (ALL) and acute myeloid leukemia (AML). The major reason for treatment failure in acute leukemia (AL) is the resistance of leukemic blasts to chemotherapeutic agents, which is accompanied by an inability of the immune system to eradicate residual leukemic cells surviving initial treatment.
