1. Heat shock proteins as vaccine adjuvants
Sammanfattning : New efficient vaccines against infectious diseases are in demand. Some important factors impeding the vaccine development are the poor immunogenicity and the MHC restriction of the immune responses to a number of antigens. LÄS MER
2. Characterizing important flavivirus-host interactions : Replication, assembly, restriction factors and vaccine development
Sammanfattning : The genus Flavivirus (family Flaviviridae) consists of important zoonotic viruses that cause morbidity and mortality worldwide. These viruses are enveloped and have a positive-sense single-stranded RNA genome encoding a polyprotein. LÄS MER
3. Development of a Cancer Vaccine Targeting Tumor Blood Vessels
Sammanfattning : A treatment strategy for cancer is the suppression of tumor growth by directing an immune response to the tumor vessels, which will destroy the tissue.In this thesis we describe the development of a vaccine that targets antigens expressed around angiogenic vasculature in most solid tumors. LÄS MER
4. Broadly protective nanoparticle-based mucosal vaccine against influenza virus infection
Sammanfattning : Influenza is one of the major viral diseases affecting humans and it is responsible for three to five million cases of severe illness and about 250.000 to 500.000 deaths each year worldwide. LÄS MER
5. Aspects of pertussis, pertussis vaccination and adverse events associated with aluminum adsorbed vaccines
Sammanfattning : The thesis originates in a clinical study of one of the new acellular pertussis vaccines performed in Göteborg in the 1990s. The monocomponent vaccine, pertussis toxoid adsorbed to aluminium hydroxide, had previously been shown to have an efficacy of 71%. LÄS MER
