  2. 1. Heat shock proteins as vaccine adjuvants

    Author : Khaleda Rahman Qazi; Carmen Fernández; Qijun Chen; Stockholms universitet; []
    Keywords : MEDICIN OCH HÄLSOVETENSKAP; MEDICAL AND HEALTH SCIENCES; Heat shock protein; vaccine; adjuvant; BCG; Immunology; Immunologi;

    Abstract : New efficient vaccines against infectious diseases are in demand. Some important factors impeding the vaccine development are the poor immunogenicity and the MHC restriction of the immune responses to a number of antigens. READ MORE

  4. 2. Novel immunization strategies and interethnic differences in response to malaria infection

    Author : Charles Arama; Marita Troye-Blomberg; Kai Matuschewski; Stockholms universitet; []
    Keywords : NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; Malaria; Immunization; Ethnic groups; vaccines; immunologi; Immunology;

    Abstract : A better understanding of the role of antigen-presenting cells (APCs) in host resistance to malaria is essential to unravel the complex interactions between the host and the parasite. This would improve the design of malaria vaccines. READ MORE
