4. 17. Subsets of Human Dendritic Cells and their Role in Allergy

   Author : Kristina Lundberg; Institutionen för immunteknologi; []
   Keywords : MEDICIN OCH HÄLSOVETENSKAP; MEDICAL AND HEALTH SCIENCES; allergy; Dendritic cells; histamine; antibody mediated allergen-presentation; Dendritic cell subsets;

   Abstract : The immune system has evolved to protect the human body against harmful invaders. At the same time, development of tolerance against self-derived and innocuous foreign antigens is of vital importance in order to avoid detrimental immune disorders. In allergic conditions, hypersensitivity is developed against harmless antigens, such as pollen. READ MORE

Förbättrat kliniskt omhändertagande och bättre förståelse av hur klinisk tolerans uppkommer är viktiga mål för forskning inom barnmedicin. READ MORE

6. 19. Cytokine studies in the generation and treatment of IgE-mediated allergy

   Author : Ankie Söderlund; Huub Savelkoul; Stockholms universitet; []
   Keywords : NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; Cytokines; Hypersensitivity; Allergy; Allergi; immunologi; Immunology;

   Abstract : So called Th2 cytokines, such as IL-4 and IL-13 are responsible for the formation of IgE antibodies, the effector antibody in atopic allergy. Cytokines of Th1 type, for example IFN-g, inhibit these responses. This thesis describes work aimed at elucidating the cytokine production underlying IgE-mediated allergy. READ MORE
