  2. 11. The regulation of B cell responses in systemic autoimmunity

    Author : Amanda Duhlin; Karolinska Institutet; Karolinska Institutet; []
    Keywords : ;

    Abstract : Our immune system is a complex network made up of physical barriers and specialized proteins, cells and organs that all work together to prevent pathogens from causing disease in the body. Once the immune system has successfully mounted an immune response upon intrusion of a pathogen it will mount an immediate and stronger response against any subsequent exposure to it. READ MORE

  4. 12. Elicitation and enhancement of T and B cell responses

    Author : Hannes Uchtenhagen; Karolinska Institutet; Karolinska Institutet; []
    Keywords : ;

    Abstract : The Major histocompatibility complex class I (MHC-I) has been characterized in such great depth that a number of its key properties are well understood and part of its behavior can even be predicted. It is therefore intriguing that the impact of small epitope modifications on immunogenicity and the elicitation of T-cell repertoires remain often unpredictable and full of surprises. READ MORE

  5. 13. B cell depleting therapy in systemic lupus erythematosus

    Author : Thórunn Jónsdóttir; Karolinska Institutet; Karolinska Institutet; []
    Keywords : Systemic Lupus Erythematosus; Lupus nephritis; B cells; rituximab;

    Abstract : Systemic Lupus Erythematosus (SLE) is a chronic autoimmune inflammatory disease characterized by multiple organ involvement, production of a wide range of autoantibodies and local formation or tissue deposition of immune complexes in the affected organs. Lupus nephritis (LN) is a common and serious organ involvement in patients with SLE. READ MORE

  6. 14. Influenza specific T- and B-cell responses in immunosuppressed patients

    Author : Aditya Sai Ambati; Karolinska Institutet; Karolinska Institutet; []
    Keywords : ;

    Abstract : Influenza, known as the ‘flu’, is a recurrent acute viral infection that might cause severe inflammation, particularly in vulnerable individuals, i.e. young children, the elderly, and immune-suppressed patients, such as stem cell transplant recipients. READ MORE

  7. 15. Vaccination against cholera and ETEC diarrhea and interventions to improve vaccine immune responses

    Author : Tanvir Ahmed; Göteborgs universitet; []
    Keywords : Vibrio cholerae; ETEC; oral vaccine; CS6; CFA I; Lewis blood group; zinc; breast feeding; T cell; B cell;

    Abstract : Vaccination against cholera and ETEC diarrhea and interventions to improve vaccine immune responses Abstract Vibrio cholerae O1 and enterotoxigenic Escherichia coli (ETEC) together account for the majority of bacterial causes of acute dehydrating diarrhea in children in Bangladesh. Vaccines should be considered as an important public health tool for prevention of these diarrheal diseases. READ MORE
