  2. 1. The PD-1 pathway and the complement system in systemic lupus erythematosus

    Author : Helga Kristjánsdóttir; Marta E Alarcón-Riquelme; Kristján Steinsson; Tom W J Huizinga; Uppsala universitet; []
    Keywords : NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; SLE; autoimmune diseases; PD-1; C4AQ0; low MBL; multicase family; Immunology; Immunologi; medicinsk genetik; Medical Genetics;

    Abstract : Autoimmune diseases occur in up to 3-5% of the general population and represent a diverse collection of diseases with regards to clinical manifestations. The unifying factor of autoimmune diseases is tissue and organ damage as a result of an immune response mounted against self-antigens. READ MORE

  4. 2. Immunological Checkpoint Blockade and TLR Stimulation for Improved Cancer Therapy

    Author : Sara Mangsbo; Thomas Tötterman; Angelica Loskog; Rolf Kiessling; Uppsala universitet; []

    Abstract : This thesis concerns the investigation of novel immunotherapies for cancer eradication. CpG therapy was used in order to target antigen-presenting cells (APCs), facilitating antigen presentation and activation of T cells. READ MORE

  5. 3. Epidemiology and prognosis in classical Hodgkin lymphoma

    Author : Peter Hollander; Ingrid Glimelius; Rose-Marie Amini; Gunilla Enblad; Lydia Visser; Uppsala universitet; []
    Keywords : MEDICIN OCH HÄLSOVETENSKAP; MEDICAL AND HEALTH SCIENCES; Epstein-Barr virus; rheumatoid arthritis; tumor microenvironment; immunohistochemistry; immune checkpoints; regulatory T lymphocytes; PD-1; PD-L1; Oncology; Onkologi; Patologi; Pathology;

    Abstract : Classical Hodgkin lymphoma (HL) is a B cell derived neoplasm with an overall good prognosis. Its etiology and pathogenesis are largely unknown. The tumor microenvironment consists of sparse malignant cells and abundant leukocytes. READ MORE

  6. 4. Antibody-based immunotherapy of cancer : From optimization to novel approaches

    Author : Luuk van Hooren; Anna Dimberg; Eugene C. Butcher; Uppsala universitet; []
    Keywords : MEDICIN OCH HÄLSOVETENSKAP; MEDICAL AND HEALTH SCIENCES; Cancer immunotherapy; CD40; CTLA-4; PD-1; Gal-1; tertiary lymphoid structures;

    Abstract : Antibody immunotherapy is a successful therapeutic approach to treat cancer. The overall aim of this thesis is to investigate the mechanisms of antibody-based immunotherapies and the role of the tumor microenvironment in mediating the anti-tumor immune response, in order to aid the development of improved immunotherapies for cancer patients.
