  2. 16. Studies on 15-lipoxygenase in dendritic cells and leukotriene receptors in Hodgkin lymphoma

    Author : Frida Schain; Karolinska Institutet; Karolinska Institutet; []
    Keywords : ;

    Abstract : Classical Hodgkin lymphoma (cHL) is histologically characterized by a minority of malignant cells, the so-called Hodgkin-Reed Sternberg (H-RS) cells, surrounded by inflammatory cells such as T lymphocytes, eosinophils, macrophages and mast cells. It is generally believed that various molecules released by the H-RS cells are of major importance in the pathophysiology of cHL. READ MORE

  4. 17. Dissection of immunity controlling spread and growth of Listeria monocytogenes in neuronal cells

    Author : Yuxuan Jin; Karolinska Institutet; Karolinska Institutet; []
    Keywords : L. monocytogenes; nervous system; neuroinvasion; IFN-ã; CSF-1; neuron; NK cells; T cells; MHC;

    Abstract : Listeria monocytogenes is a Grain-positive, facultative intracellular bacterium that causes severe infections in the nervous system of domestic animals and humans. Rhombencephalitis (brainstem encephalitis) due to L. monocytogenes, is a localized brainstem infection that is frequent in ruminants, and has been reported in humans as well. READ MORE

  5. 18. Synthesis and characterization of dendritic macromolecules based on 2,2-bis(hydroxymethyl)propionic acid

    Author : Henrik Ihre; KTH; []
    Keywords : ;

    Abstract : Dendrimers are a relatively new type of macromolecules characterized by a well-defined, highly branthed, layered structure with a multitude of chain ends, adopting a globular shape at higher molar masses. Dendrimers are usually constructed from ABx type of monomers in either one of the two step-wise approaches known as thedivergentor theconvergent growth approach. READ MORE

  6. 19. Systemic and local regulation of experimental arthritis by IFN-α, dendritic cells and uridine

    Author : Sudeep Chenna Narendra; Mattias Magnusson; Srinivas Uppugunduri; Alf Kastbom; Natacha Bessis; Linköpings universitet; []
    Keywords : MEDICIN OCH HÄLSOVETENSKAP; MEDICAL AND HEALTH SCIENCES; MEDICIN OCH HÄLSOVETENSKAP; MEDICAL AND HEALTH SCIENCES; MEDICIN OCH HÄLSOVETENSKAP; MEDICAL AND HEALTH SCIENCES; MEDICIN OCH HÄLSOVETENSKAP; MEDICAL AND HEALTH SCIENCES;

    Abstract : In this thesis, we have studied the immunological processes of joint inflammation that may be targets for future treatment of patients with arthritis. We focus on the immune-modulating properties of interferon-α (IFN-α) and uridine in experimental arthritis. READ MORE

  7. 20. Restoring antitumor immunity with dendritic cell reprogramming strategies. Reprogramming cancer cells to antigen-presenting cells

    Author : Alexandra Gabriela Barros Ferreira; Avdelningen för molekylärmedicin och genterapi; []
    Keywords : MEDICIN OCH HÄLSOVETENSKAP; MEDICAL AND HEALTH SCIENCES; Cell Reprogramming; Cancer cells; Tumor Antigen-presenting Cells; immunotherapy;

    Abstract : For the past two decades, immunotherapy revolutionized cancer treatment. However, responses vary significantly among eligible patients and some cancer types are not yet open to immunotherapy. Several mechanisms contribute to immunotherapy resistance, including loss of antigen presentation machinery and immunosuppression. READ MORE
