  2. 16. Fc receptors and feedback enhancement of antibody responses

    Author : Sara Wernersson; Uppsala universitet; []
    Keywords : MEDICIN OCH HÄLSOVETENSKAP; MEDICAL AND HEALTH SCIENCES; Genetics; mouse; transgenic knockout; immune regulation; B lymphocytes; Fc receptors; IgG; IgE; FcgRI; FcgRII; FcgRIII; CD23; Genetik; Clinical genetics; Klinisk genetik; Pathology; patologi;

    Abstract : Antibodies are important for the defence against microorganisms, but are also involved inpathological reactions such as allergy or autoimmunity. The exact mechanisms involved inregulation of antibody responses is still largely unknown. In this thesis, immune regulationby antibodies and the receptors they bind to (FcR), were investigated.

  4. 17. Eczema in young children : aspects of clinical investigation and treatment

    Author : Gunilla Norrman; Karin Fälth-Magnusson; Magnus Borres; Linköpings universitet; []
    Keywords : MEDICIN OCH HÄLSOVETENSKAP; MEDICAL AND HEALTH SCIENCES; allergy; eczema; skin tests; food allergy; food challenge; IgG4; IgE; elimination diet; SCORAD; children; infants; adolescents; Allergology; Allergologi;

    Abstract : Bakgrund: Eksem förekommer hos 10-20% av barn i hela världen. En tredjedel av barnen med eksem har födoämnesallergi. Hos de flesta växer födoämnesallergin bort innan skolåldern. Förbättrat kliniskt omhändertagande och bättre förståelse av hur klinisk tolerans uppkommer är viktiga mål för forskning inom barnmedicin. READ MORE

  5. 18. Relationship between chemical structure and airway sensitizing potential for organic acid anhydrides : an animal model

    Author : Xing-Dong Zhang; Avdelningen för arbets- och miljömedicin; []
    Keywords : MEDICIN OCH HÄLSOVETENSKAP; MEDICAL AND HEALTH SCIENCES; sensitization; immunization; predictive testing; low-molecular-weight chemicals; chemical respiratory allergy; hypersensitivity; rats; guinea pigs; structure-activity-relationship; occupational asthma; organic acid anhydrides; IgG1; IgE; Occupational health; industrial medicine; Yrkesmedicin; arbetsmiljömedicin;

    Abstract : Oranic acid anhydrides (OAAs) are important reactive, low-molecular-weight industrial chemicals which induce allergic rhinitis and asthma in exposed subjects. Specific IgE has been demonstrated in a large proportion of OAA-exposed workers. READ MORE

  6. 19. Cholera toxin B subunit as a carrier for inducing mucosal immunity and/or peripheral tolerance

    Author : Carola Rask; Göteborgs universitet; []
    Keywords : MEDICIN OCH HÄLSOVETENSKAP; MEDICAL AND HEALTH SCIENCES; Mucosal immunity; tolerance; atopic allergy; cholera toxin B subunit; antibody response; IgE;

    Abstract : When an antigen is introduced via a mucosal route, either immunity or tolerance, or even both may be induced. Both immunity and tolerance are actively induced phenomena and both of them could have important medical implications as well as potential prophylactic or therapeutic applications. READ MORE

  7. 20. Generation and evolution of human antibody repertoires

    Author : Helena Persson; Institutionen för immunteknologi; []
    Keywords : MEDICIN OCH HÄLSOVETENSKAP; MEDICAL AND HEALTH SCIENCES; specificity; Immunology; serology; transplantation; Immunologi; serologi; Biotechnology; Bioteknik; phage display; IgE; hapten; grass pollen allergen; diversity; antibody repertoire; antibody library; antibody evolution; affinity maturation; allergy;

    Abstract : This thesis, which is based on five original papers, covers different aspects of antibody specificity and diversity, with the overall goal to understand the makeup of antibody repertoires and their functionality as they occur in vivo or as they are developed in the laboratory. Besides their importance in the adaptive immune response, antibodies have emerged as an invaluable tool in applications ranging from basic research to disease diagnostics and therapy. READ MORE
