    Keywords : Vaccination coverage; influenza; MMR; hepatitis B; self reported data; elderly; childhood vaccinations; health care workers; parents attitudes; paper; web questionnaire.;

    Abstract : Vaccines are among the most effective public health interventions used today. Population based vaccination programmes are mainly aimed at protecting against common childhood diseases, but other population groups are also the targets for different recommendations. READ MORE

  4. 22. Enhancing T cell mediated immunity in DNA vaccination

    Abstract : For centuries infectious diseases have been one of the main causes of death in the world. With the invention of vaccine technology 200 years ago, we have been able to impede and even eradicate several dangerous pathogens. READ MORE

  5. 23. Immune mechanisms that determine the quality of antibody responses to vaccines

    Author : Gustaf Lindgren; Karolinska Institutet; Karolinska Institutet; []
    Keywords : ;

    Abstract : Effective vaccines for many dangerous infectious diseases are still lacking. An improved understanding of the mechanisms that determine the quality of vaccine responses is essential to guide future attempts to design effective vaccines. READ MORE

  6. 24. Immune monitoring in humans after manipulation by B cell depletion and immunization

    Author : Therese Vallerskog; Karolinska Institutet; Karolinska Institutet; []
    Keywords : ;

    Abstract : The overall goal of this thesis was to study the influence of immunomodulatory drugs on the human immune system. The approach was bi-directional; ex vivo studies were performed after B cell depletion with rituximab treatment in patients with SLE and RA, and an in vivo assay was established to study effects of drugs on immune responsiveness.

  7. 25. Dissection of HIV-1 Env-specific B cell responses in nonhuman primates

    Author : Christopher Sundling; Karolinska Institutet; Karolinska Institutet; []
    Keywords : ;

    Abstract : Vaccine-induced protection is generally mediated by long-lived antigen-specific B cell responses. Most licensed vaccines target pathogens that display relatively low variability, but for highly variable pathogens, such as HIV-1, vaccine development is more challenging. READ MORE
