2. 1. Human intestinal T lymphocytes : a comparative analysis of phenotype and function in normal and inflamed mucosa

   Author : Silvia Melgar; Nadine Cerf-Bensussan; Umeå universitet; []
   Keywords : MEDICIN OCH HÄLSOVETENSKAP; MEDICAL AND HEALTH SCIENCES; human intestinal mucosa; intraepithelial lymphocyte; lamina propria lymphocyte; γδ T cell; regulatory T cell; cytotoxicity; cytokine; basal lymphoid aggregate; ulcerative colitis; Crohn s disease;

   Abstract : The epithelial lining of the gut must allow immediate contact with beneficial components as nutrients and normal microflora. At the same time it runs the constant risk of attack from pathogenic microbes and noxious agents. READ MORE

4. 2. Transcriptional control of CD4+ T lymphocytes

   Author : Peter C J Janson; Karolinska Institutet; Karolinska Institutet; []
   Keywords : ;

   Abstract : The immune system can respond to various types of pathogens such as bacteria, viruses, tumors and parasites. The ability to provide protection against different types of pathogens partly relies on development of alternative T effector cells with separate effector functions. READ MORE

5. 3. Control of Epstein-Barr virus infection by cytotoxic T lymphocytes

   Author : Pedro-Otavio de Campos-Lima; Karolinska Institutet; Karolinska Institutet; []
   Keywords : Epstein-Barr virus; Cytotoxic T lymphocytes; T cell receptor; CTLescape mutants;

   Abstract : Cytotoxic T lymphocytes (CTL) play a critical role in response to Epstein-Barr virus (EBV), a widespread human herpes virus that persists in healthy carriers as a latent infection of B cells and is implicated in the pathogenesis of lymphoid and epithelial cell malignancies. Six virus encoded nuclear antigens, EBNA1-6, and three membrane proteins, LMP1, -2A and -2B, are regularly detected in EBV transformed lymphoblastoid cell lines (LCLs). READ MORE

6. 4. T cells in chronic obstructive pulmonary disease

   Abstract : Background: Tobacco smoking is the main cause of chronic obstructive pulmonary disease, COPD, but the mechanisms by which cigarette smoke induces COPD are still elusive. T lymphocytes have been implicated in the pathogenesis of the disease, but their role in the airway inflammation in COPD is not fully understood. READ MORE

7. 5. Glioblastoma multiforme in the microscope: Diagnostic features of importance for prognosis and treatment
