1. Cell-mediated immunity to flavivirus infections
Abstract : NK cells and T cells constitute a major part of the cell-mediated immune system and play important roles in the host defense against viral infections. Most current knowledge of cell-mediated immune responses to primary acute viral infections comes from murine models, while relatively less is known about human responses to, in particular, acute viral infections.

4. Flow cytometric methods for assessment of cell-mediated immune responses
Abstract : The aim of this thesis was to develop and improve flow cytometry-based methods for assessment of cellmediated immune responses (CMI) induced by natural infection or vaccination. Traditionally, the measurement of anti genspecific cellular immune responses has been based on the use of complex, labourintensive, and less informative bulkresults assays (51Cr-release, 3 3H-thymidin uptake and Limiting dilution assay, LDA).

5. The Importance of Cell-Mediated Immunity for the Development of Type 1 Diabetes
Abstract : Background Type I (insulin-dependent) diabetes mellitus is an autoimmune disease characterised by infiltration of T-lymphocytes in the islets of Langerhans. In particular, activated Th1-like lymphocytes secreting IFN-γ are suggested to contribute to the inflammatory process and the destruction of ß-cells, whereas Th2-like cells producing IL-4 might even be protective.
