1. Genetic and immunological studies of experimental arthritis, with emphasis on a novel C-type lectin receptor gene complex
Abstract : Rheumatoid Arthritis (RA) is a chronic, systemic autoimmune syndrome primarily affecting peripheral joints. The etiology of RA is largely unknown but complex interactions between genetic and environmental factors contribute to the disease. Arthritis models more or less resembling RA are used to search for clues. READ MORE

2. Modulation of immune responses in murine collagen induced arthritis
Abstract : Murine collagen-induced arthritis (CIA) is the most common model for studying human rheumatoid arthritis (RA). Autologous or heterologous type II collagen (CII) emulsified in Freund´s complete adjuvant induces arthritis in susceptible mice, which is histopathologically similar to RA. READ MORE

4. Biochemical biomarkers at the site of inflammation and in peripheral blood

The focus of this thesis is inflammatory biomarkers, mediators, chemokines and cytokines that attract immune cells and that regulate the course of the inflammatory process at the site of inflammation.
