  2. 21. Immune Regulation During Malaria Infection

    Author : Helena Helmby; Edvard Pearce; Stockholms universitet; []
    Keywords : NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; immunologi; Immunology;

    Abstract : Malaria is the largest parasitic disease in the world and is caused by the protozoon Plasmodium. The most severe form in humans is caused by Plasmodium falciparum. Immunity to malaria involves both cell-mediated and humoral responses and develops slowly over a period of ten to fifteen years, requiring repeated infections. READ MORE

  4. 22. Heavy Metal Superantigen : Genetic Regulation of Lymphocyte Activation by HgC12

    Author : Yun Jiang; Peter Mathieson; Stockholms universitet; []
    Keywords : NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; immunologi; Immunology;

    Abstract : Injections of subtoxic doses of HgCl2 (mercuric chloride) cause a systemic autoimmune disease in genetically predisposed rats and mice. My work was designed to elucidate how HgCl2 induces lymphocyte activation and how the response to HgCl2 is regulated in susceptible and resistant strains. READ MORE

  5. 23. Cytokine studies in the generation and treatment of IgE-mediated allergy

    Author : Ankie Söderlund; Huub Savelkoul; Stockholms universitet; []
    Keywords : NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; Cytokines; Hypersensitivity; Allergy; Allergi; immunologi; Immunology;

    Abstract : So called Th2 cytokines, such as IL-4 and IL-13 are responsible for the formation of IgE antibodies, the effector antibody in atopic allergy. Cytokines of Th1 type, for example IFN-g, inhibit these responses. This thesis describes work aimed at elucidating the cytokine production underlying IgE-mediated allergy. READ MORE

  6. 24. Glutamate and GABA signalling components in the human brain and in immune cells

    Author : Amol K. Bhandage; Bryndis Birnir; Gerard P. Ahern; Uppsala universitet; []

    Abstract : Glutamate and γ-aminobutyric acid (GABA) are the principal excitatory and inhibitory neurotransmitters in the central nervous system (CNS). They both can activate their ionotropic and metabotropic receptors. READ MORE

  7. 25. Early childhood thymectomy - impact on immune function

    Author : Judith Gudmundsdottir; Göteborgs universitet; []
