    Author : Katarina Tengvall; Kerstin Lindblad-Toh; Göran Andersson; Åke Hedhammar; Gerli Rosengren Pielberg; Ingrid Skelton Kockum; Uppsala universitet; []
    Keywords : MEDICIN OCH HÄLSOVETENSKAP; MEDICAL AND HEALTH SCIENCES; GWAS; canine model; genetic association; immunogenetics; atopic dermatitis; IgA deficiency; Molekylär genetik; Molecular Genetics;

    Abstract : This thesis presents genetic studies of atopic dermatitis (AD) and IgA deficiency in dogs.AD is a chronic inflammatory and pruritic skin disorder caused by allergic reactions against environmental allergens. Both genetic and environmental factors are involved in the development of Canine AD (CAD) and human AD. READ MORE

    Author : Marcel Frankowiack; Karolinska Institutet; Karolinska Institutet; []
    Keywords : ;

    Abstract : Selective IgA deficiency (IgAD) is the most common primary immunodeficiency disorder in Caucasians and is defined as serum IgA concentrations below or equal to 0.07 g/l, with normal serum concentrations of IgM and IgG, in individuals 4 years of age or older. READ MORE

  5. 3. Lactobacilli in the normal microbiota and probiotic effects of Lactobacillus plantarum

    Author : Elisabeth Lönnermark; Göteborgs universitet; []
    Keywords : lactobacillus; oral microbiota; gut microbiota; infants; adults; secretory IgA; IgA-deficiency; adherence; Lactobacillus plantarum; probiotics; antibiotics; salmonellosis; diarrhoea;

    Abstract : Lactobacilli colonise most adult individuals and are also frequently used as probiotics, i.e. bacteria which possibly have health promoting effects when ingested. In this thesis, the intestinal Lactobacillus microbiota was studied in longitudinally followed infants. READ MORE

    Author : Ning Wang; Karolinska Institutet; Karolinska Institutet; []
    Keywords : ;

    Abstract : Selective IgA deficiency (IgAD) is the most common primary immunodeficiency disorder in Caucasians with a prevalence of approximately 1:600 in the general population. It is defined as serum IgA levels below or equal to 0.07 g/l with normal serum levels of IgM and IgG above the age of 4. READ MORE
