  4. 17. Impact of intestinal worms on distal immune response and control of co-infections

    Author : Xiaogang Feng; Karolinska Institutet; Karolinska Institutet; []
    Keywords : ;

    Abstract : Parasitic worm infections have been suggested to impair control of secondary infections and vaccine efficacy. However, the experimental data regarding the capacity of intestinal nematodes to modulate host immune responses was lacking and the mechanism underlying dampened immune responses, particularly those distal to the gut, incompletely understood.

  5. 18. Innate and adaptive immunity in genital HSV-2 infection: Implications for vaccine development

    Author : Ali M Harandi; Göteborgs universitet; []
    Keywords : genital herpes infection; natural antibody; CD4 T cells; CD8 T cells; IFN-g; IL-12; IL-18; CC chemokines; dendritic cells.;

    Abstract : Herpes simplex virus type 2 (HSV-2) is a sexually transmitted pathogen that infects the genital tract mucosa and is the most common case of genital ulcers in humans. Despite numerous studies, little is known about the mechanisms involved in immune protection and no anti-herpes vaccine has been developed to date. READ MORE

  6. 19. Dendritic cell presentation of type II collagen

    Author : Meirav Holmdahl; Lund Dermatologi och venereologi; []
    Keywords : MEDICIN OCH HÄLSOVETENSKAP; MEDICAL AND HEALTH SCIENCES; Medicin människa och djur ; Medicine human and vertebrates ; chromosome 2; arthritis; proteases; antigen presentation; Dendritic cell; type II collagen;

    Abstract : Type II collagen (CII) is the main protein component of cartilage and immune recognition of CII plays a critical role for the development of collagen induced arthritis (CIA), a widely used animal model for rheumatoid arthritis (RA). Antigen presentation is an important requirement for the immune response, the more efficient presentation of the antigen the better tolerance will be induced and thereby protect against arthritis.

    Abstract : Abstract: Parkinson’s disease (PD) is a common neurodegenerative disorder. There is no proven protection, but many treatments can partially improve symptoms. The disease is caused by monogenetic mechanisms in very few cases, but for the majority of patients the etiology is unknown. READ MORE
