  4. 17. Regulation of cell morphology and adhesion in B lymphocytes by interleukin-4

    Author : Edward Davey; Karolinska Institutet; Karolinska Institutet; []
    Keywords : B lymphocytes; interleukin-4; lipopolysaccharide; CD40; cell adhesion; cell morphology; cytoskeleton; microvilli;

    Abstract : The different stages in lymphocyte differentiation and activation are associated with profound changes in cell morphology. Under normal development, lymphocytes are at different times in direct contact with stromal cells and extracellular matrix, they transverse endothelium, are transported via blood and lymphatic vessels, home to specific lymphoid organs and may undergo antigen-driven activation events.

    Abstract : Diffuse large B-cell lymphoma (DLBCL) is an aggressive and heterogeneous disease. Identification of prognostic and predictive markers is important to design individualised and effective treatment strategies. READ MORE

  6. 19. Antigens associated with human urinary bladder carcinoma : identification and functional studies

    Author : Hannu Koho; Stockholms universitet; []
    Keywords : NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES;

    Abstract : The primary aim of this study was to identify antigens associated with themalignant state of human urinary bladder carcinoma cells. Characterization ofsuch tumor-associated antigens should provide clues to the molecularmechanisms of tumorigenesis, as well as leading to possible clinical applications,such as immunodiagnosis and immunotherapy.

  7. 20. Specific targeting of antigen-presenting cells for immunotherapy

    Author : Sissela Broos; Institutionen för immunteknologi; []
    Keywords : MEDICIN OCH HÄLSOVETENSKAP; MEDICAL AND HEALTH SCIENCES;

    Abstract : Immunotherapy, which involves strategies to activate, enhance or redirect immune responses to achieve long-lasting immunity, has the potential to play an important role in the treatment of a variety of diseases. This thesis, based on four original papers, highlights different approaches to modulate immune responses by specific targeting of antigen-presenting cells. READ MORE
