22. Pharmacometrics to characterize innate immune response and antibacterial treatments
Abstract : The immune system protects the host against pathogens by distinguishing self from non-self. However, it is most-often disregarded in pharmacokinetic-pharmacodynamic (PKPD) characterization of (new and old) antibiotics. READ MORE

23. Oxygen delivery and mitochondrial dysfunction as assessed by microdialysis during interventions in experimental sepsis
Abstract : Early administration of broad-spectrum antibiotics is the first goal in sepsis treatment. Besides from bacteriostatic/bactericidal effects, some antibiotics may also modify the host´s response to infection. The novel antibiotic tigecycline may exert such properties; however, this property has not been evaluated in large-animal trials. READ MORE

24. Endotoxin-induced inflammation in healthy human airways
Abstract : The aim of this thesis was to investigate the innate immune response in healthy human airways in vivo after simulation of a Gram-negative infection. Intrabronchial exposure to the TLR4 agonist endotoxin was used as a model for the innate mechanisms in the immune response that are caused by cigarette smoke and by natural infection with Gram-negative bacteria.

25. Immune responses to lipopolysaccharide in relation to allergic disease : a TLR4 gene polymorphism and endotoxin exposure
Abstract : Background: Allergic diseases have increased during the last decades, particularly in affluent countries, possibly due to a reduced and/or altered microbial exposure during infancy. Activation of the immune system by microbes early in life is probably required for accurate maturation of the immune system and tolerance development. READ MORE
