2. 1. Mechanisms involved in macrophage phagocytosis of apoptotic cells

   Author : Anna Nilsson; Per-Arne Oldenborg; Karl-Eric Magnusson; Umeå universitet; []
   Keywords : NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; macrophages; dendritic cells; phagocytosis; apoptotic cells; senescent erythrocytes; CD47; SIRPalpha; LRP1; calreticulin; Immunology; Immunologi; immunologi; Immunology;

   Abstract : Efficient removal of apoptotic cells is critical for development, tissue remodelling, maintenance of homeostasis, and response to injury. Phagocytosis of apoptotic cells is mediated by many phagocytic receptors, soluble bridging molecules, and pro-phagocytic ligands on the surface of apoptotic cells. READ MORE

4. 2. Lactobacilli- and Staphylococcus aureus mediated modulation of immune responses in vitro

   Author : Yeneneh Haileselassie; Eva Sverremark-Ekström; Huub Savelkoul; Stockholms universitet; []
   Keywords : NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; lactobacilli; staphylococcus aureus; dendritic cells; retinoic acid; epithelial cells; T cells; immunologi; Immunology;

   Abstract : The human gut harbors a vast number of microbes. These microbes are not passive bystanders. They are important in modulating the immune system. We have previously shown that early colonization with lactobacilli and Staphylococcus (S. READ MORE

5. 3. Effects of Complement Opsonization of HIV on Dendritic Cells : and Implications for the Immune Response

   Author : Rada Ellegård; Marie Larsson; Jorma Hinkula; Johan D Söderholm; William Paxton; Linköpings universitet; []
   Keywords : NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; HIV; dendritic cells; complement; innate immune response; TLR signaling; T cell activation; NK cells; inflammation; antiviral response; immune evasion;

   Abstract : Dendritic cells are key players during HIV pathogenesis, and shape both the immediate immune response at the site of infection as well as directing the adaptive immune response against the virus. HIV has developed a plethora of immune evasion mechanisms that hijack dendritic cell functions, suppressing their ability to mount an accurate immune response and exploiting them for efficient viral transfer to target T cells.

6. 4. 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.

7. 5. Human Dendritic Cells and the Regulation of Allergic Immune Responses

   Author : Malin Lindstedt; Institutionen för immunteknologi; []
   Keywords : MEDICIN OCH HÄLSOVETENSKAP; MEDICAL AND HEALTH SCIENCES; serology; transplantation; Immunologi; serologi; Immunology; allergic rhinitis; inflammation; transcriptional profiling; T cells; Dendritic cells; microarray;

   Abstract : Dendritic cells (DC) are a heterogeneous lineage of bone-marrow-derived leukocytes that serve as the link between innate and adaptive immunity. They are professional antigen-presenting cells that play an important protective and regulatory role in both health and disease. READ MORE
