  2. 21. Natural killer T cell subsets and regulation of autoimmune diabetes

    Author : Martin Stenström; Immunologi; []
    Keywords : MEDICIN OCH HÄLSOVETENSKAP; MEDICAL AND HEALTH SCIENCES; serology; transplantation; CD1d; NKT cells; Immunology; autoimmune diabetes; serologi; Immunologi;

    Abstract : This thesis is focused on natural killer (NK) T cells. NKT cells recognize lipids and glycolipids, rather than peptides, in the contents of the antigen presenting molecule CD1d. READ MORE

  4. 22. Innate and acquired immunity to herpes simplex virus type 2 glycoprotein G in humans

    Author : Lars Bellner; Göteborgs universitet; []
    Keywords : herpes simplex virus type 2; glycoprotein G-2; T-cell proliferation; Th1 cytokines; phagocytes; NK cells; reactive oxygen species; formyl peptide receptors;

    Abstract : Herpes simplex virus type 2 (HSV-2) is a sexually transmitted pathogen that infects the human genital tract mucosa and is the most common cause of genital ulcer disease in humans. The infection exhibits a broad clinical spectrum, ranging from severe recurrent episodes of genital herpes to being completely asymptomatic. READ MORE

  5. 23. Targets for immune mediated killing of tumor cells and T cell functions in B-CLL

    Author : Eva D Rossmann; Karolinska Institutet; Karolinska Institutet; []
    Keywords : Chronic lymphocytic leukemia; apoptosis; monoclonal antibody therapy; quantitative flow cytometry; cytokines; T cell dysfunctions;

    Abstract : There is a great need for developing and improving treatment alternatives in B-cell chronic lymphocytic leukemia (B-CLL). New therapeutical approaches based on the manipulation of the immune system enable establishment of enhanced control over the malignant clone. READ MORE

  6. 24. T-cell competition as a mechanism for immunodominance and the role for IL-12 in CTL responses

    Author : Per Grufman; Karolinska Institutet; Karolinska Institutet; []
    Keywords : CTL; Dendritic cells; Immunodominance; T-cell competition; IL- 12;

    Abstract : Immunodominance is a process in which the immune response focuses on one or a few of all potential epitopes that exists within an antigen. The mechanisms for immunodominance have not yet been determined. READ MORE

  7. 25. Modulation of natural killer cell and T-cell functions by CD94/NKG2A receptors

    Author : Cristina Teixeira de Matos; Karolinska Institutet; Karolinska Institutet; []
    Keywords : NK cells; Dendritic cells; Inhibitory receptors; Cytokines; C1394 NKG2A; HLA-E; Inflammation; Chronic arthritis; Tumor cells.;

    Abstract : Natural Killer (NK) cells constitute a subset of lymphocytes capable of cytokine production and/or cellular cytotoxicity. Although NK cells can be activated experimentally by a multitude of agents, the in vivo mechanisms of activation and regulation are not fully elucidated. READ MORE
