  2. 1. Myeloid-Derived Suppressor Cells and Other Immune Escape Mechanisms in Chronic Leukemia

    Author : Lisa Christiansson; Angelica S I Loskog; Ulla Olsson-Strömberg; Andreas Lundqvist; Uppsala universitet; []
    Keywords : MEDICIN OCH HÄLSOVETENSKAP; MEDICAL AND HEALTH SCIENCES; MEDICIN OCH HÄLSOVETENSKAP; MEDICAL AND HEALTH SCIENCES; MEDICIN OCH HÄLSOVETENSKAP; MEDICAL AND HEALTH SCIENCES; chronic myeloid leukemia; myeloid-derived suppressor cells; sCD25; tyrosine kinase inhibitors; multiplex protein quantification; Medical Science; Medicinsk vetenskap;

    Abstract : Chronic myeloid leukemia (CML) is characterized by the Philadelphia chromosome, a minute chromosome that leads to the creation of the fusion gene BCR/ABL and the transcription of the fusion protein BCR/ABL in transformed cells. The constitutively active tyrosine kinase BCR/ABL confers enhanced proliferation and survival on leukemic cells. READ MORE

  4. 2. T Regulatory Cells – Friends or Foes?

    Author : Camilla Lindqvist; Angelica Loskog; Thomas Tötterman; Vivianne Malmström; Uppsala universitet; []
    Keywords : MEDICIN OCH HÄLSOVETENSKAP; MEDICAL AND HEALTH SCIENCES; Treg; T regulatory cell; FoxP3; CD25; CLL; B-cell lymphoma; Clinical immunology; Klinisk immunologi; Klinisk immunologi; Clinical Immunology;

    Abstract : T regulatory cells (Tregs) have been extensively studied in patients with cancer or autoimmunity. These cells hamper the immune system’s ability to clear tumor cells in cancer patients. In autoimmune diseases, on the other hand, they are not able to restrain autoreactive immune responses.

  5. 3. T cells and costimulatory factors in myasthenia gravis

    Author : Maria Kakoulidou; Karolinska Institutet; Karolinska Institutet; []
    Keywords : T cells; Myasthenia gravis MG ; costimulation; autoimmune disease; genetic polymorphism; twin;

    Abstract : The autoimmune disease myasthenia gravis (MG) is characterized by muscle weakness due to a loss of acetylcholine receptors (AChR) at the neuromuscular end plate. Most MG patients have pathogenic antibodies directed against the receptor. We provide further evidence that T cells are important for establishment and continuation of the disease. READ MORE
