  2. 1. Allogeneic dendritic cells as adjuvants in cancer immunotherapy

    Author : Grammatiki Fotaki; Magnus Essand; Alex Karlsson-Parra; Di Yu; Tanja de Gruijl; Uppsala universitet; []
    Keywords : MEDICIN OCH HÄLSOVETENSKAP; MEDICAL AND HEALTH SCIENCES; Allogeneic dendritic cells; immune primer; adjuvant; adenoviral vector; cancer immunotherapy; tumor microenvironment; Klinisk immunologi; Clinical Immunology;

    Abstract : In recent years, immunotherapeutic approaches have achieved remarkable successes through checkpoint blockade antibodies, advances in the use of chimeric antigen receptor (CAR) T cells and new insights into the immunosuppressive role of the tumor microenvironment (TME). Through the advances, the role of cancer vaccines based on ex vivo manipulated autologous dendritic cells (DC) has been challenged. READ MORE

  4. 2. Cellular immune responses in allogeneic and xenogeneic transplantation models

    Author : Annacarin Wallgren; Göteborgs universitet; []
    Keywords : MEDICIN OCH HÄLSOVETENSKAP; MEDICAL AND HEALTH SCIENCES;

    Abstract : The introduction of immunosuppressive agents and improvements in surgical techniques and ancillary care has made allotransplantation a routine procedure. However, improvements in short-term graft survival rates have not been accompanied by a similar improvement in long-term outcome due to the process of therapy-resistant chronic allograft rejection.

  5. 3. Improvement of adoptive T-cell therapy for Cancer

    Author : Chuan Jin; Magnus Essand; Ola Winqvist; Uppsala universitet; []
    Keywords : MEDICIN OCH HÄLSOVETENSKAP; MEDICAL AND HEALTH SCIENCES; CAR T-cell therapy; AEP expansion protocol; scaffold matrix attachment region; non-integrating lentivirus; H. pylori Neutrophil-activating protein; allogeneic DCs; Klinisk immunologi; Clinical Immunology;

    Abstract : Cancer immunotherapy has recently made remarkable clinical progress. Adoptive transfer of T-cells engineered with a chimeric antigen receptor (CAR) against CD19 has been successful in treatment of B-cell leukemia. READ MORE

  6. 4. Studies on dendritic cells in multiple sclerosis and experimental allergic encephalomyelitis

    Author : Yu-Min Huang; Karolinska Institutet; Karolinska Institutet; []
    Keywords : ;

    Abstract : Multiple sclerosis (MS) is a chronic inflammatory disease of the central nervous system (CNS) resulting in demyelination, axonal loss and, ultimately, formation of gliotic scar tissue in the brain and spinal cord. MS remains the major disabling neurological illness of young adults of North European origin. READ MORE

  7. 5. Dendritic cell responses to apoptotic cells : is there life after death?

    Author : Ulrika Johansson; Karolinska Institutet; Karolinska Institutet; []
    Keywords : ;

    Abstract : Dendritic cells (DC) are antigen-presenting cells that are crucial for the induction of immune responses to pathogens and for the maintenance of self-tolerance. DCs efficiently capture and process material from their local environment, including invading pathogens and dying cells of the host, and present the material to the adaptive immune response. READ MORE
