11. The dimensions of human and murine CD8 T lymphocyte diversity
Abstract : The adaptive immune system generates and maintains a pool of CD8+ T cells with an almost limitless specificity with the purpose of maintaining homeostasis. Upon antigen encounter, CD8+ T cells undergo functional diversification and give rise to daughter cells. READ MORE

12. Inflammatory Reactions in Peritonitis and Malignant Obstructive Jaundice : Clinical and Experimental Studies with Special Emphasis on the Cellular Immune Response
Abstract : Patients with peritonitis or malignant obstructive jaundice (HPB+) have an increased morbidity and mortality due to sepsis. An altered cell-mediated immunity in the intestinal mucosa might promote gut barrier failure, increased endotoxin and cytokine release and bacterial translocation (BT) in these conditions. READ MORE

13. T lymphocyte and NK cell function in pulmonary inflammation in sarcoidosis
Abstract : The focus of this thesis is on the role of T lymphocytes and Natural Killer cells in sarcoidosis, which is an inflammatory interstitial pulmonary disorder of unknown etiology. An accumulation of CD4+ T helper cells in the lungs is a characteristic feature of this disease. READ MORE

14. T-lymphocyte mediated killing of TAP-deficient tumor cells and immunodominance of minor histocompatibility antigens
Abstract : Target structures and regulation of cytotoxic T lymphocyte (CTL) mediated responses is the subject of this thesis. One main finding is that cells devoid of a functional transporter associated with antigen processing (TAP) appear to express novel epitopes that can be recognized by syngenic CTL. READ MORE

15. Butyrophilin- and Butyrophilin-like genes and their role in epithelial cell-intraepithelial T lymphocyte cross-talk
Abstract : More than 50% of our immune system is located in the gut. The intestinal epithelium, which forms an interface between the organism and the environment, harbors intraepithelial lymphocytes (IELs) that comprise a mixture of conventional αβ T cells and unconventional αβ- and γδ T cells.
