  2. 1. Immune cells in pregnant uterine mucosa : functional properties, cellular composition and tissue organization

    Author : Lucia Mincheva-Nilsson; Sten Hammarström; Rolf Kiessling; Umeå universitet; []
    Keywords : MEDICIN OCH HÄLSOVETENSKAP; MEDICAL AND HEALTH SCIENCES; immunologically privileged site; TCR γδ cells; CD56 cells; large granular lymphocytes; immunosuppression; cytokine; interleukin; lymphoid cell cluster; intraepithelial lymphocytes; glandular epithelium; immuno electron microscopy; pregnancy; decidua; lactoferrin; lactoferrin receptor; colostrum;

    Abstract : The pregnant uterus mucosa - decidua - is an "immunologically privileged" site. A semiallogeneic embryo is allowed to survive, develop, and grow while the same tissue implanted outside the uterus will be rejected. The decidua basalis, which participates in the placenta formation, is a tissue rich in lymphoid cells. READ MORE

  4. 2. Pro- and anti-inflammatory actions in coronary artery disease : with focus on CD56+ T cells and Annexin A1

    Author : Ida Bergström; Lena Jonasson; Eva Särndahl; Jan Ernerudh; Johan Frostegård; Linköpings universitet; []
    Keywords : MEDICIN OCH HÄLSOVETENSKAP; MEDICAL AND HEALTH SCIENCES; MEDICIN OCH HÄLSOVETENSKAP; MEDICAL AND HEALTH SCIENCES;

    Abstract : ¨The atherosclerotic process is considered to be driven by an imbalance between proand anti-inflammatory actions. Still, the inflammatory state in patients with coronary artery disease (CAD) remains to be clarified. READ MORE

  5. 3. Activation of human dendritic cells : role of the allergenic yeast Malassezia and NK cells

    Author : Eva Buentke; Karolinska Institutet; Karolinska Institutet; []
    Keywords : Antigen-presenting cells; atopic eczema dermatitis syndrome; cytokines; dendritic cells; Malassezia; NK cells; yeast;

    Abstract : Immature bone marrow derived dendritic cells (DCs) patrol the periphery of our body, where they encounter and take up foreign antigens. Once activated, DCs migrate to regional lymph nodes to present peptides derived from these antigens to naive T cells, and elicit different T helper (Th) cell responses. READ MORE

  6. 4. The Immune System in the Oldest-Old : Clinical and Immunological Studies in the NONA Immune Cohort

    Author : Bengt-Olof Nilsson; Jan Ernerudh; Anders Wikby; Sture Löfgren; Karlis Pauksens; Linköpings universitet; []
    Keywords : Elderly; selection; health status; lymphocyte subsets; CD8; CMV; cytomegalovirus; immune risk; immune risk phenotype; IRP; T-cells; interleukin 6; IL-6; survival; mortality; antinuclear antibodies; ANA; ageing; immunosenescence; MEDICINE; MEDICIN;

    Abstract : The oldest-old (people aged 80 or older) constituted 5 % of the population in Sweden in 2000, an increase from 1.5 % fifty years earlier. The immune system undergoes dramatic changes at high age, sometimes referred to as “immunosenescence”. READ MORE

  7. 5. Innate-like T cells in the immunopathogenesis of HIV-1 infection

    Author : Kerri Guth Lal; Karolinska Institutet; Karolinska Institutet; []
    Keywords : ;

    Abstract : The immunodynamics of HIV infection have been studied for over three decades in the hopes of determining underlying mechanisms that contribute to the sustained immune dysfunction observed even in individuals on therapy. Conventional and adaptive T cells are both the target of the virus and considered the main players in controlling viral burden. READ MORE
