  2. 21. Modulation of adaptive immune responses in mice upon exposure to peroxisome proliferators

    Author : Qian Yang; Norbert Latruffe; Stockholms universitet; []
    Keywords : NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; biokemi; Biochemistry;

    Abstract : At present, there is an increasing awareness that exposure of mammals to drugs or other foreign chemicals can result in modulation of immunological responses via direct or indirect mechanisms. Changes in the immune system can obviously have profound physiological and pathological consequences. READ MORE

  4. 22. Defining human adaptive immune gene diversity

    Author : Sanjana Narang; Karolinska Institutet; Karolinska Institutet; []
    Keywords : ;

    Abstract : The lymphocytes (B and T cells) of the adaptive immune system undergo variable (V), diversity (D), and junctional (J) gene recombination, resulting in highly diverse antigen receptor repertoires capable of recognizing a wide variety of invading pathogens. The B cell receptor (BCR) contains two identical heavy and light chains. READ MORE

  5. 23. Innate lymphocyte responses in inflammatory diseases

    Author : Johanna Emgård; Karolinska Institutet; Karolinska Institutet; []
    Keywords : ;

    Abstract : The immune system is a highly sophisticated system that has evolved to protect the host from external and internal threats. However, under some circumstances the immune response can get dysregulated and cause inflammatory diseases. READ MORE

  6. 24. Innate and adaptive immune responses in the lungs. Contribution to protection against mycobacterial infections

    Author : Olga Daniela Chuquimia Flores; Carmen Fernández; Stockholms universitet; []
    Keywords : NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES;

    Abstract : Host defense against Mycobacterium tuberculosis (Mtb) is mediated by a combination of innate and adaptive immunity. In this thesis we investigated the role of components of innate system such as TLR2 signalling and alveolar epithelial cells type II (AEC II) in the immune responses against mycobacterial infections.

  7. 25. Bacterial Adaptive Responses - Coping with Oxygen Limitation, Reactive Nitrogen Species and Disulfide Stress

    Author : Annika Rogstam; Biologiska institutionen; []
    Keywords : NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; Bacillus subtilis; redox regulation; nitrosative stress; disulfide stress;

    Abstract : Bacteria have a remarkable ability to adapt to different environments. When bacteria encounter stress that causes macromolecular damage in the cell, leading to a suboptimal performance of cell metabolism, they can elicit an adaptive response. READ MORE
