  2. 16. Islet xenotransplantation : An immunological study in the pig-to-mouse model

    Author : Birgitta Benda; Uppsala universitet; []
    Keywords : MEDICIN OCH HÄLSOVETENSKAP; MEDICAL AND HEALTH SCIENCES; Oncology; xenotransplantation; porcine; islet; in vivo; knock-out mouse; immunohistochemistry; CsA; MDL 201; 449A; Ig; FcR; IL-6; perforin; granzyme B; macrophage; eosinophilic granulocyte; T cell; TCR; IFN- g; TNF- a; IL-2; Onkologi; Oncology; Onkologi; Clinical Immunology; klinisk immunologi;

    Abstract : Successful clinical xenotransplantation, i.e., transplantation between species, would eliminate the shortage of donor organs. In order to study the acute cellular rejection reaction following discordant xenogeneic transplantation, an experimental pig-to- mouse islet xenotransplantation model was established. READ MORE

  4. 17. Immune Cell Profiling of Colorectal Cancers: Unravelling the Connection to Treatment Responses

    Author : Azar Rezapour; Göteborgs universitet; []
    Keywords : MEDICIN OCH HÄLSOVETENSKAP; MEDICAL AND HEALTH SCIENCES; Rectal cancer; Tumor infiltrating T cell; MxA; Interferon type I; CD39; CD103; PD-1; cytokines; response to the treatment;

    Abstract : Understanding the interplay between tumor cells and the immune system holds the key to the development of more effective treatments for cancer patients. Therefore, we have emphasized our efforts on deciphering the intricacies of these interactions to pave for more effective therapeutic strategies. READ MORE

  5. 18. Intestinal dendritic cell migration and induction of T cell responses

    Author : Karin Hägerbrand; Adaptivt immunförsvar; []
    Keywords : NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES;

    Abstract : The intestine represents the body’s largest surface exposed to the outer world and is thus a major entry site for pathogens such as bacteria and viruses. The intestinal immune system has the important task of protecting us against infection while maintaining tolerance against the vast amount of commensal microbes populating the intestinal tract and the multitude of foreign antigen present in the diet.

  6. 19. CC16 in allergy and allergic inflammation

    Author : Sofi Johansson; Göteborgs universitet; []
    Keywords : CC16; CC10; uteroglobin; Clara cell; allergy; asthma; children; allergen; respiratory syncytial virus; T cell; eosinophil; neutrophil; fMLF; PGD2;

    Abstract : Clara cell 16-kDa (CC16) is an anti-inflammatory protein mainly produced in the lung epithelium by Clara cells. Patients with asthma have lower levels of CC16 in bronchoalveolar lavage fluid and serum compared with healthy controls. READ MORE

  7. 20. Neoehrlichiosis - latent infection of endothelium and immune defense

    Author : Linda Wass; Göteborgs universitet; []
    Keywords : MEDICIN OCH HÄLSOVETENSKAP; MEDICAL AND HEALTH SCIENCES; Neoehrlichia mikurensis; neoehrlichiosis; human; infectious disease; endothelial cell; T cell;

    Abstract : This thesis is a study of the tick-borne pathogen Neoehrlichia (N.) mikurensis that causes the infectious disease neoehrlichiosis in humans. The disease affects both individuals with competent and suppressed immune defense with the majority of the affected being immunosuppressed. READ MORE
