16. Specifity and genetic control of B cell reactivity in experimental arthritis
Abstract : Collagen-induced arthritis (CIA) and pristane-induced arthritis (PIA) are animal models for human rheumatoid arthritis (RA), and can be induced in susceptible mouse and rat strains. CIA is induced by immunization of type II collagen (CII), a cartilage specific protein together with Freund’s adjuvant. READ MORE

17. Regulation of B cell function by plasmacytoid dendritic cells
Abstract : Dendritic cells (DCs) are early sentinels of pathogen exposure and central in the initiation and orchestration of adaptive immune responses. Apart from the prominent role of DCs in the activation of T cells, DCs have been shown to influence humoral B cell mediated responses. READ MORE

18. iNKT cell regulation of B cell activation in inflammation
Abstract : The ability to combat infections through the generation of specific immune responses is critical to our survival. The immune system can react to and combat virtually any molecule presented to it, including those derived from our own body. READ MORE

19. Studies of molecular events during peripheral B cell differentiation
Abstract : This thesis focuses on molecular changes occuring during terminal B cell differentiation as well as on somatic hypermutation and the generation and maintenance of B cell memory. During T cell dependent immune responses the average affinity for the eliciting antigen increases with time. READ MORE

20. Innate mechanisms regulating B cell activation in inflammatory diseases
Abstract : Generation of powerful and highly specific immune responses against invading pathogens is essential to our survival. However, the immune system can cause disease if activated in an inappropriate manner. READ MORE
