21. Mucosal immune responses in HIV-1 exposed uninfected individuals
Sammanfattning : The development of HIV vaccines and immunotherapeutics remains hampered by our lack of understanding correlates of immune protection to infection and disease. The major (perhaps only) piece of evidence indicating that long-term, solid resistance to HIV infection is indeed possible comes from HIV exposed yet uninfected individuals (EUI). LÄS MER
22. Bacteria-agglutinating glycoproteins in human saliva : an in vitro study with special reference to Streptococcus mutans
Sammanfattning : The activity and specificity of salivary glycoproteins (agglutinins) aggregating various human indigenous microorganisms were studied in vitro. The agglutinin reacting with a serotype c strain of Streptococcus mutans was isolated and chemically characterized.The results can be summarized as follows:1. LÄS MER
23. Host ligands and oral bacterial adhesion : studies on phosphorylated polypeptides and gp-340 in saliva and milk
Sammanfattning : Infectious diseases e.g. gastric ulcer, caries and perodontitis, are caused by bacteria in a biofilm. Adhesion of bacteria to host ligands e. LÄS MER
24. Immune mechanisms in atherosclerotic vascular disease
Sammanfattning : Atherosclerosis has been categorized as an inflammatory disorder, with similar chronic inflammatory conditions found in rheumatoid arthritis. It entails an unregulated accumulation of lipids in the vessel wall, which leads to the development of cardiovascular diseases. LÄS MER
25. Analysis of epithelial electrophysiological function in paediatric intestinal biopsies
Sammanfattning : Intestinal biopsies are routinely taken from children under investigation of failure to thrive, diarrhoea, abdominal pain and/or malnutrition. These biopsies are usually only evaluated morphologically, i.e. no information is collected with regard to mucosal function. LÄS MER
