2. 16. Deciphering Binding Patterns of Therapeutic Antibodies with Immune Cells : From Method Development to Application

   Author : Sina Bondza; Jos Buijs; Marika Nestor; Mark Cragg; Uppsala universitet; []
   Keywords : MEDICIN OCH HÄLSOVETENSKAP; MEDICAL AND HEALTH SCIENCES; affinity; binding kinetics; CD20; cell-based assay; immunology; receptor-ligand interaction; therapeutic antibody; Immunologi; Immunology; Medical Cell Biology; Medicinsk cellbiologi;

   Abstract : Reversible binding, for example between signaling molecules and receptors on the cell surface, is one of the main means to communicate information in cellular systems. Knowledge about how molecules interact is crucial for both understanding biological function and for therapeutic intervention. READ MORE

   Abstract : The complement system is a part of the innate immunity and is essential in the defence against microorganisms. Hereditary C2 deficiency (C2D) is one of the most common complement deficiency states with an estimated prevalence of 1:20,000 in persons of Western descent. READ MORE

5. 18. Acute inflammation on model biomaterial surfaces : studies on proteins, neutrophils and platelets

   Author : Jonas Wetterö; Ulf Sjöbring; Linköpings universitet; []
   Keywords : MEDICINE; MEDICIN;

   Abstract : Although most biomedical devices are non-toxic, disturbed acute and chronic inflammation and the lack of integration in tissues is a concern. At the time of biomaterial insertion, protein adsorption onto material surfaces precedes cell adhesion and is believed to alter unfavorably the acute inflammatory response and the subsequent tissue healing.

6. 19. On the etiology and pathogenesis of systemic lupus erythematosus with special reference to environmental factors

   Author : Anders Bengtsson; Reumatologi och molekylär skelettbiologi; []
   Keywords : MEDICIN OCH HÄLSOVETENSKAP; MEDICAL AND HEALTH SCIENCES; muscle system; rheumatology locomotion; Skelett; muskelsystem; reumatologi; Skeleton; Risk factors; Human parvovirus B19; Immune complex; Disease activity; Interferon-alpha; SLE; Retrovirus;

   Abstract : Systemic lupus erythematosus (SLE) is a complex autoimmune disease in which environmental factors interact with genetic factors in the development of the disease process and evolution of clinical manifestations. In this thesis both exogenous factors and host factors were investigated, as well as important immunopathological aspects including involvement of immune complex (IC), the complement system and interferon-alpha (IFN-α).

7. 20. Biomarkers and Disease Activity in Multiple Sclerosis : A cohort study on patients with clinically isolated syndrome and relapsing remitting multiple sclerosis

   Author : Irene Håkansson; Jan Ernerudh; Charlotte Dahle; Magnus Vrethem; Jan Lycke; Linköpings universitet; []
   Keywords : MEDICIN OCH HÄLSOVETENSKAP; MEDICAL AND HEALTH SCIENCES;

   Abstract : This thesis focuses on disease activity in clinically isolated syndrome (CIS) and newly diagnosed relapsing remitting multiple sclerosis (RRMS). The papers are based on data from 41 patients in a prospective longitudinal cohort study. All patients were untreated at baseline. READ MORE
