  1. 41. Infectious diseases in returning Swedish travellers

    Författare :Helena Hervius Askling; Karolinska Institutet; Karolinska Institutet; []
    Nyckelord :;

    Sammanfattning : The number of travellers to “tropical” parts of the world has increased substantially during the past decades. Identifying risk groups and providing preventive measures is important both to reduce the number of travellers falling ill and to prevent introduction of diseases into new countries. LÄS MER

  3. 42. Coxsackie B virus pathogenesis in mice

    Författare :Maria Hindersson; Karolinska Institutet; Karolinska Institutet; []
    Nyckelord :;

    Sammanfattning : Coxsackie B virus (CVB) belongs to the enterovirus (EV) genera of the Picornaviridae family. These infections range from asymptomatic, mild infections to serious diseases such as myocarditis, pancreatitis, paralysis, aseptic meningitis and encephalitis. LÄS MER

  4. 43. Harnessing the immunoregulatory capacity of single-stranded oligonucleotides to modulate innate immunity

    Författare :Aleksandra Dondalska; Anna-Lena Spetz; Jenny Hallgren Martinsson; Stockholms universitet; []
    Nyckelord :NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; single-stranded oligonucleotides; Toll-like receptors; influenza; respiratory syncytial virus; dendritic cell; mast cell; virus infection; inflammation; itch; molekylär biovetenskap; Molecular Bioscience;

    Sammanfattning : As the first line of defense, the innate immune system is exceptionally efficacious against invading pathogens but must be tightly regulated to avoid immune-related pathogenesis. Accordingly, the innate immune system recognizes highly conserved components associated with infections and damaged cells using a limited number of pattern-recognition receptors (PRRs), which are differentially expressed across cell types.

  5. 44. Immunogenetic markers in immune mediated diseases

    Författare :Liene Nikitina-Zake; Karolinska Institutet; Karolinska Institutet; []
    Nyckelord :HLA; MICA; TNFA; TNFa; KIR; CIN; cervical cancer; juvenile arthritis; MCTD; type I diabetes mellitus;

    Sammanfattning : The aim of this thesis was to study HLA class II markers, as well as other - MHC and non MHC genes in different immune - mediated diseases, namely, cervical intraepithelial neoplasia (CIN), cervical cancer, juvenile idiopathic arthritis (JIA), mixed connective tissue disease (MCTD) and type I diabetes mellitus (T1 DM). HLA class II genes are located on the short arm of chromosome 6 and are known to be important for pathogenesis of immune-mediated diseases due to the function of the molecules these genes encode.

  7. 45. Broadly protective nanoparticle-based mucosal vaccine against influenza virus infection

    Författare :Valentina Bernasconi; Göteborgs universitet; []
    Nyckelord :MEDICIN OCH HÄLSOVETENSKAP; MEDICAL AND HEALTH SCIENCES; Mucosal vaccination; Influenza A virus; CTA1-DD; Nanoparticle; Targeted adjuvant; Nasal immunization; Oral immunization; Neonatal vaccine; Universal vaccine;

    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
