    Abstract : Microscopic colitis (MC) is a chronic diarrhoeal disease of unknown aetiology, comprising collagenous colitis (CC) and lymphocytic colitis (LC). The nature of the adaptive local immune responses in the mucosa of MC patients is however far from elucidated. READ MORE

  4. 22. Understanding allergies : how infections affect the function of T helper cells

    Author : Junjie Ma; Karolinska Institutet; Karolinska Institutet; []
    Keywords : ;

    Abstract : Allergic disorders are caused by a combination of hereditary and environmental factors. The hygiene hypothesis postulates that early-life microbial exposures impede the development of subsequent allergic diseases. However, unambiguous evidence that microbes reduce the development of allergic disorders is still lacking. READ MORE

  5. 23. Cellular Immune Responses to Cytomegalovirus

    Author : Anna Karin Lidehäll; Olle Korsgren; Thomas Tötterman; Ineke ten Berge; Uppsala universitet; []
    Keywords : MEDICIN OCH HÄLSOVETENSKAP; MEDICAL AND HEALTH SCIENCES; Cytomegalovirus; cellular immunology; infection; immune responses; congenital infection; CD4 T cells; CD8 T cells; immunosuppressed; Clinical immunology; Klinisk immunologi;

    Abstract : Cytomegalovirus (CMV) is a widespread infection affecting 50-90% of the human population. A typical silent primary infection is followed by life-long persistence in the host under control by virus-specific CD8 (“killer”) and CD4 (“helper”) T cells. READ MORE

  6. 24. Experimental and computational analysis of human GM-CSF producing T-helper cells

    Author : Szabolcs Éliás; Karolinska Institutet; Karolinska Institutet; []
    Keywords : ;

    Abstract : T-helper cells are crucial elements of the immune system, and they differentiate into several subsets depending on their cytokine environment. Each subset contributes to a certain type of immune response by producing its characteristic cytokines. READ MORE

  7. 25. A study on the role of T helper cells in allergic inflammation

    Author : Julian Mario Stark; Karolinska Institutet; Karolinska Institutet; []
    Keywords : ;

    Abstract : Asthma is a chronic inflammatory disease of the airways affecting hundreds of millions of people worldwide. Central to the development of asthma and allergic airway inflammation are CD4 T cells, which upon activation through their T cell antigen receptor, differentiate into T helper (Th) cells with the potential to secrete distinct sets of cytokines.
