  2. 1. Bacterial Regulation of Peripheral Immunity : Mechanistic insights from lactobacilli and Staphylococcus aureus

    Author : Manuel Mata Forsberg; Eva Sverremark-Ekström; Monika Brunner-Weinzierl; Stockholms universitet; []
    Keywords : NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; Immune regulation; Cytokines; T cells; gamma-delta T cells; MAIT cells; NK cells; Lactobacillus; Staphylococcus aureus; staphylococcal enterotoxins; molekylär biovetenskap; Molecular Bioscience;

    Abstract : There is a constant cross-talk between our immune system and the colonizing microbiota. The gut resident bacteria produce a broad range of molecules with regulatory activities in both local and distal tissues. Staphylococcus (S. READ MORE

  4. 2. Characterization of human gamma delta T cells in allogeneic hematopoietic stem cell transplantation

    Author : Ahmed Gaballa; Karolinska Institutet; Karolinska Institutet; []
    Keywords : ;

    Abstract : Over the last five decades, allogeneic hematopoietic stem cell transplantation (HSCT) has evolved rapidly, continuing to offer a cure for several hematological diseases. Nevertheless, associated life-threatening complications remain an obstacle against exploiting its full therapeutic benefit. READ MORE

  5. 3. Expansion of circulatory Vγ9Vδ2 T cells in tularemia and Pontiac fever, two intracellular bacterial diseases with widely different clinical expression

    Author : Michal Kroca; Dieter Kabelitz; Umeå universitet; []
    Keywords : MEDICIN OCH HÄLSOVETENSKAP; MEDICAL AND HEALTH SCIENCES; Immunology; Francisella tularensis; Gamma-delta T cell; Legionella; Legionellosis; Lymphocyte; T cell Tularemia; Immunologi; Immunology; Immunologi; immunologi; Immunology;

    Abstract : Although well established that human Vγ9Vδ2 T cells may expand in circulation during intracellular bacterial infections, most underlying studies included only a few cases and only some diseases had been studied so far. In tularemia, a severe invasive disease, only one patient had been described. READ MORE

  6. 4. Host-bacterium relationship in staphylococcal skin infection

    Author : Lena Mölne; Göteborgs universitet; []
    Keywords : MEDICIN OCH HÄLSOVETENSKAP; MEDICAL AND HEALTH SCIENCES; Staphylococcus aureus; skin; mice; superantigen; TSST-1; neutrophils; gamma delta T cells; bacterial DNA; CpG ODN;

    Abstract : Skin infections caused by Staphylococcus aureus are commonly occuring, both in the community and in hospitals. Despite the high prevalence of this condition, little is known about the host immune responsiveness and bacterial virulence factors during S. aureus skin infection. READ MORE

  7. 5. T cell mediated immunity in malaria and mycobacterial infection : a protective role for gd+ T cells

    Author : Shewangizaw Worku; Karolinska Institutet; Karolinska Institutet; []
    Keywords : Malaria; Plasmodium falciparum; Plasmodium. vivax; Mycobacteria; Mycobacterium tuberculosis; BCG; T lymphocytes; T cell receptor; [gamma][delta] T cells; [alpha][beta] T cells;

    Abstract : T cell mediated immunity is essential against intracellular infections. Studies of cell mediated immunity are important for the optimal design and development of effective vaccines. Identifying correlates of protective immunity will also enable measurement of vaccine efficiency. READ MORE
