1. On the role of Natural Killer cell immunogenetics for the outcome of immunotherapy in acute myeloid leukemia
Abstract : Numerous studies have revealed that natural killer cells have fundamental roles as effector cells in myeloid leukemias. Thus, understanding NK cell-related biomarkers that influence clinical outcome are warranted. READ MORE

2. The mast cell transcriptome and the evolution of granule proteins and Fc receptors
Abstract : Protection against disease-causing pathogens, known as immunity, involves numerous cells organs, tissues and their products. To able to understand the biology of immune cells (hematopoietic cells) and their role in an immune system, we have used several different methods, including transcriptome analyses, bioinformatics, production of recombinant proteins and analyses of some of them, focusing on the granule proteases by substrate phage display.

3. Fcγ-receptors in systemic autoimmune conditions : lessons from murine mercury-induced autoimmunity
Abstract : In this thesis we investigated the role of activating (FcγRI, FcγRIII) and inhibitory (FcγRIIB) Fcγ-receptors on systemic autoimmunity using two mouse strains, DBA/1 (H-2q) and BALB/c mice (H-2d), susceptible to induction of autoimmunity by mercury (Hg).Fc-receptors for IgG (FcγR) link cellular and humoral immune responses, control the balance between activating and inhibitory immune responses and are important in the development of several autoimmune diseases.

4. Regulation of calcium flux by activating and inhibitory receptor crosstalk in NK cells
Abstract : The birth of a new born child kicks off the immune system to be on call and to respond promptly to threats from the environment. Natural Killer cells, classified as a member of the innate lymphoid cell family, express various activating, inhibitory, adhesion and cytokine receptors as well as MHC class I molecules on their surfaces, by which they interact with surrounding cells and perform various immunological function.

5. Regulation of NK cell activity : studies of DAP12-associated receptors in immune synapse formation and in responses to cytomegalovirus infection
Abstract : Natural killer (NK) cell effector functions are important for innate resistance against tumor cells and viral infections. NK cells display a broad range of inhibitory and activating receptors on the cell surface, which ensure specificity. READ MORE
