  2. 1. Clinical and Immunological Aspects of Lyme borreliosis

    Author : Johanna Sjöwall; Pia Forsberg; Ekerfelt Ekerfelt; Jan Ernerudh; Jarmo Oksi; Linköpings universitet; []
    Keywords : MEDICINE; MEDICIN;

    Abstract : Lyme borreliosis (LB) is a tick-borne infection caused by spirochetes of the Borrelia (B.) burgdorferi sensu lato complex. The infection is associated with several clinical features, of which erythema migrans (EM) and neuroborreliosis (NB) are the most common in Europe. The prognosis after antibiotic therapy is generally good. READ MORE

  5. 3. Interferon-Υ and interleukin-4 in health and disease : Studies on Borrelia infection, inflammatory polyneuropathies and normal pregnancy

    Author : Christina Ekerfelt; Ann Kari Lefvert; Linköpings universitet; []
    Keywords : MEDICINE; MEDICIN;

    Abstract : Background: The immune system needs stringent regulation in order to effectively eliminate infecting agents and, at the same time, protect the body from immunemediated tissue destruction. T cells have a major role in this regulation by secreting cytokines. READ MORE

  6. 4. Laboratory methods for investigation of the immunological orchestra in response to pathogens

    Author : Hanna Carlsson; Ivar Tjernberg; Christina Ekerfelt; Kristina Nilsson Ekdahl; Jorma Hinkula; Matti Sällberg; Linköpings universitet; []
    Keywords : MEDICIN OCH HÄLSOVETENSKAP; MEDICAL AND HEALTH SCIENCES; Borrelia; Influenza; Immunology; Immune response; Cellmediated; Serological; Subclinical; ELISA; Luminex; Proximity extension assay;

    Abstract : Laboratory methods used for investigation of immune response often involve collection of whole blood and analysis of different biomarkers in blood components or generated from pathogen stimulation of whole blood or peripheral blood mononuclear cells (PBMC). Methods used to measure biomarkers are for example enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay (ELISA) which measures one biomarker at a time or multiplex assays for example x-unknown, multi-analyte profiling (xMAP) by Luminex or proximity extension assay (PEA), which can measure up to just over 3000 biomarkers at a time.

  7. 5. Immune mechanisms in Borrelia burgdorferi sensu lato infection in relation to clinical outcome

    Author : Linda Fryland; Christina Ekerfelt; Pia Forsberg; Per-Eric Lindgren; Marit Troye Blomberg; Linköpings universitet; []
    Keywords : ;

    Abstract : Lyme borreliosis (LB) is the most common tick-borne disease in the northern hemisphere. The infection is caused by spirochaetes from the Borrelia (B.) burgdorferi sensu lato (s.l. READ MORE
