  2. 1. The Multiple Faces of Genetically-Modified T Cells : Potential Applications in Therapy

    Author : Victoria Hillerdal; Magnus Essand; Johanna Olweus; Uppsala universitet; []
    Keywords : MEDICIN OCH HÄLSOVETENSKAP; MEDICAL AND HEALTH SCIENCES; cancer immunotherapy; genetically engineered T cells; chimeric antigen receptor; T cell receptor; antigen-specific T cells; immunotherapy; Immunologi; Immunology; Klinisk immunologi; Clinical Immunology;

    Abstract : In this PhD thesis the potential of T-cells as therapy for disease are explored. The applications of genetically modified T-cells for treatment of cancer and autoimmune disease; the functionality and optimal activation of T-cells are discussed. READ MORE

  4. 2. CAR T cells for Immunotherapy of Cancer

    Author : Tina Sarén; Magnus Essand; Martin Pule; Uppsala universitet; []
    Keywords : MEDICIN OCH HÄLSOVETENSKAP; MEDICAL AND HEALTH SCIENCES; Chimeric antigen receptor CAR -T cells; Cancer immunotherapy; NAP; Tonic signaling; T cell exhaustion; B cell lymphoma; clinical trial; glioblastoma;

    Abstract : In recent years, immunotherapy has revolutionized cancer treatment by prolonging survival and even curing patients lacking other available therapies. Besides immune checkpoint inhibitors, one of the major advances is attributed to the success of chimeric antigen receptor (CAR)-T cell therapy in treating patients with B-cell malignancies.

  5. 3. Cancer Immunotherapy : Oncolytic viruses and CAR-T cells

    Author : Jing Ma; Di Yu; Magnus Essand; Mia Phillipson; Mohanraj Ramachandran; Karl-Johan Malmberg; Uppsala universitet; []
    Keywords : MEDICIN OCH HÄLSOVETENSKAP; MEDICAL AND HEALTH SCIENCES; Cancer immunotherapy; Oncolytic viruses; chimeric antigen receptor CAR -T cells; Helicobacter pylori Neutrophil Activating Protein;

    Abstract : Various forms of cancer immunotherapy have developed rapidly with improved survival and quality of life for cancer patients. Cancer immunotherapy aims to educate the patient’s immune system to eliminate cancer cells, including immune checkpoint inhibitors (ICIs), adoptive cell transfer (mostly T cells), oncolytic viruses (OVs) and cancer vaccines.

  6. 4. Cancer Immunotherapy : Evolving Oncolytic viruses and CAR T-cells

    Author : Mohanraj Ramachandran; Magnus Essand; Di Yu; Justyna Leja-Jarblad; Richard Vile; Uppsala universitet; []
    Keywords : MEDICIN OCH HÄLSOVETENSKAP; MEDICAL AND HEALTH SCIENCES; Oncolytic virus; Adenovirus; Semliki Forest virus; Cancer immunology; Chimeric antigen receptor T-cells; Immunologi; Immunology; Oncology; Onkologi; Biology with specialization in Molecular Biotechnology; Biologi med inriktning mot molekylär bioteknik;

    Abstract : In the last decade cancer immunotherapy has taken huge strides forward from bench to bedside and being approved as drugs. Cancer immunotherapy harnesses the power of patient’s own immune system to fight cancer. READ MORE

  7. 5. Modulation of B cell access to antigen by passively administered antibodies : an explanation for antibody feedback regulation?

    Author : Hui Xu; Birgitta Heyman; Helena Harris; Uppsala universitet; []
    Keywords : NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; MEDICIN OCH HÄLSOVETENSKAP; MEDICAL AND HEALTH SCIENCES; IgG; IgG3; IgE; suppression; enhancement; epitope masking; antigen transport; antigen presentation; follicular B cells; marginal zone B cells; Immunologi; Immunology;

    Abstract : Antibody responses can be up- or down-regulated by passive administration of specific antibody together with antigen. Depending on the structure of the antigen and the antibody isotype, responses can be completely suppressed or enhanced up to a 1000-fold of what is seen in animals immunized with antigen alone.
