  1. 21. Vaccine-induced aluminium allergy and long-lasting subcutaneous itching nodules

    Författare :Anette Gente-Lidholm; Göteborgs universitet; []
    Nyckelord :MEDICIN OCH HÄLSOVETENSKAP; MEDICAL AND HEALTH SCIENCES; Childhood vaccine; Adverse event; Aluminium; Aluminium allergy; Itching nodules; Subcutaneous granulomas; Patch test; Tolerance;

    Sammanfattning : Background: Aluminium contact dermatitis is rare even though aluminium is frequently used in antiperspirants and sunscreens. Sensitisation to aluminium is mostly a side effect of aluminium-adsorbed vaccines. These can also induce long-lasting intensely itching subcutaneous nodules (granulomas) at the injection site.

  3. 22. Functions of glycoprotein G of herpes simplex virus type 2

    Författare :Staffan Görander; Göteborgs universitet; []
    Nyckelord :Herpes simplex virus type 2; glycoprotein G-2; type specific serology; vaccine; Tanzania;

    Sammanfattning : Background: Herpes simplex virus type 2 (HSV-2) is a common sexually transmitted infection with more than 500 million individuals infected world-wide. A major global health problem is that HSV-2 infection facilitates the spread of HIV. This epidemiological situation warrants the development of a vaccine to reduce the spread of HSV-2. LÄS MER

  4. 23. Antibodies for better or worse or Antibody variability in an egg-laying mammal and a novel strategy in the treatment of allergies

    Författare :Jeannette Johansson; Kjell-Olov Grönvik; Uppsala universitet; []
    Nyckelord :NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; Cell and molecular biology; Antibody; variability; platypus; allergy; vaccine; adjuvant; Cell- och molekylärbiologi; Cell and molecular biology; Cell- och molekylärbiologi; Molecular Immunology; molekylär immunologi;

    Sammanfattning : Antibodies are a central part of the immune defense system, and a large variability in their specificity is needed in order to be able to react against all possible foreign substances we may encounter during our lives. In this thesis, results are presented from investigations into how an egg-laying mammal, the Australian duck-billed platypus (Ornithorhynchus anatinus) creates antibody variability. LÄS MER

  5. 24. Immunogenicity and protective potential of Protein D of Haemophilus influenzae against H. influenzae infection

    Författare :Mustafa Akkoyunlu; Malmö Klinisk mikrobiologi; []
    Nyckelord :MEDICIN OCH HÄLSOVETENSKAP; MEDICAL AND HEALTH SCIENCES; Microbiology; bactericidal assay; mucosal immunity; otitis media; vaccine; H. influenzae; protein D; bacteriology; virology; mycology; Mikrobiologi; bakteriologi; virologi; mykologi;

    Sammanfattning : Both Haemophilus influenzae type b (Hib) and nontypeable H. influenzae (NTHi) are important human pathogens causing invasive and mucosal infections. Currently there are number of vaccines available against Hib infections. LÄS MER

  7. 25. Antibody- and Peptide-based Immunotherapies : Proof-of-concept and safety considerations

    Författare :Erika Fletcher; Sara Mangsbo; Vivianne Malmström; Uppsala universitet; []
    Nyckelord :MEDICIN OCH HÄLSOVETENSKAP; MEDICAL AND HEALTH SCIENCES; Immune complex; conjugat; vaccine; CD40; whole blood; cytokine release syndrome; Immunologi; Immunology;

    Sammanfattning : The aim of cancer immunotherapy is to eradicate tumours by inducing a tumour-specific immune response. This thesis focuses on how antibodies and peptides can improve antigen presentation and the subsequent tumour-specific T cell response. Tumour recognition by the immune system can be promoted through delivery of antigen in the form of a vaccine. LÄS MER
