  2. 1. Antibodies during pregnancy : Aspects on complications during pregnancy and complications related to transfusion

    Author : Miodrag Palfi; Olof Sjöberg; Linköpings universitet; []
    Keywords : Pregnancy; Thl; Th2; hernolytic disease of the newborn; anti-D; IgG subclasses; IgG transport; post-transfusion reactions; acute lung injury; MEDICINE; MEDICIN;

    Abstract : The fetus acquires half of its genetic infonnation from the father and represents a foreign graft in pregnancy. The overall mechanisms contributing to immunologic tolerance and successful pregancy still are an enigma. Accumulating results of immunologic research, however, offer an explanation for many events in pregnancy. READ MORE

  4. 2. Anti-D antibodies : In vitro tests to predict the severity of hemolytic disease of the newborn

    Author : Jan-Olof Hildén; Lennart Rydberg; Linköpings universitet; []
    Keywords : MEDICINE; MEDICIN;

    Abstract : The ability of different in vitro tests to predict the severity of hemolytic disease of the newborn (HDN) has been studied. When properly performed the traditional indirect antiglobulin titers (IAT) on maternal serum can be used to identify a low !iter group ~32 in which the fetus will not suffer from severe hemolytic disease and a high titer group ~1000 where all newboms will be affected.

  5. 3. Humoral and cellular immune response to Helicobacter pylori in Bangladeshi children and adults that may be related to protection

    Author : Taufiqur Rahman Bhuiyan; Göteborgs universitet; []
    Keywords : MEDICIN OCH HÄLSOVETENSKAP; MEDICAL AND HEALTH SCIENCES; Helicobacter pylori; Adults; Children; Birth cohort; Maternal antibodies; Serology; Th17; T cell; B cell; Developing country;

    Abstract : Helicobacter pylori (Hp) colonizes the human gastric and duodenal mucosa and the infection may cause peptic ulcers and gastric adenocarcinoma. Half of the world’s population is infected with Hp with the highest prevalence in developing countries. READ MORE

  6. 4. Malaria during pregnancy and childhood : A focus on soluble mediators and neutrophils

    Author : Stéphanie Boström; Marita Troye-Blomberg; Maria Yazdanbakhsh; Stockholms universitet; []
    Keywords : NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; Plasmodium falciparum; pregnancy; childhood; neutrophils; biomarkers; cytokines; chemokines; antibodies; Fulani; Dogon; immunologi; Immunology;

    Abstract : In areas where malaria is endemic, pregnant women and children bear the main burden of severe and life-threatening malarial disease. The aim of this work was to study the impact of Plasmodium falciparum infection on inflammatory responses in pregnant women and children residing in African countries. READ MORE

  7. 5. Immunological aspects of maternal-foetal interactions in mice

    Author : Marie Arvola; Uppsala universitet; []
    Keywords : NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; Developmental biology; Neonatal mice; milk; placenta; fetal rejection; IgG; Utvecklingsbiologi; Developmental biology; Utvecklingsbiologi; Developmental Biology; miljömedicinsk utvecklingsbiologi;

    Abstract : Mammalian pregnancy is an immunological paradox. The foetus, which expresses both paternal and maternal cell-surface molecules, has to be protected from rejection by the maternal immune system. At the same time, the mother has to have an efficient immune defence and must provide her offspring with antibodies. READ MORE
