  2. 1. Early-life gut microbiota and breast milk oligosaccharides in relation to childhood immune maturation and allergy

    Author : Ylva Margareta Sjögren; Eva Sverremark-Ekström; Outi Vaarala; Stockholms universitet; []
    Keywords : NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; allergy; infant; gut microbiota; human milk oligosaccharides; Bifidobacterium; Lactobacillus; Bacteroides fragilis; Clostridium difficile; family size; secretory IgA; toll like receptor; Immunology; Immunologi; immunologi; Immunology;

    Abstract : Atopic allergy is the most common chronic disease among children in the developed world. This high prevalence could be associated with low microbial exposure. The early gut microbiota appears to be important for immune maturation. READ MORE

  4. 2. Infant gut microbiota, immune responses and allergic disease during childhood

    Author : Maria A. Johansson; Eva Sverremark-Ekström; Christina West; Stockholms universitet; []
    Keywords : NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; immunologi; Immunology;

    Abstract : The early-life microbiota is important for postnatal immune maturation and implied in immune mediated diseases. The aim of this work was to study specific species of bacteria in the gut microbiota and relate them to immune function and allergic disease during childhood. READ MORE

  5. 3. Early infant gut flora and neutral oligosaccharides in colostrum in relation to allergy development in children

    Author : Ylva Sjögren; Eva Sverremark-Ekström; Stockholms universitet; []
    Keywords : NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; Immunology; Immunologi;

    Abstract : Today, atopic allergy is the most common chronic disease among children in the developed world. The increase in allergy prevalence during the past decades in these countries might be associated with lower microbial exposure. READ MORE

  6. 4. Lactobacilli- and Staphylococcus aureus mediated modulation of immune responses in vitro

    Author : Yeneneh Haileselassie; Eva Sverremark-Ekström; Huub Savelkoul; Stockholms universitet; []
    Keywords : NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; lactobacilli; staphylococcus aureus; dendritic cells; retinoic acid; epithelial cells; T cells; immunologi; Immunology;

    Abstract : The human gut harbors a vast number of microbes. These microbes are not passive bystanders. They are important in modulating the immune system. We have previously shown that early colonization with lactobacilli and Staphylococcus (S. READ MORE

  7. 5. Immune maturation and lymphocyte characteristics in relation to early gut bacteria exposure

    Author : Sophia Björkander; Eva Sverremark Ekström; Hanne Frøkiær; Stockholms universitet; []
    Keywords : NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; Allergy; cell-free supernatant; chemokines; colonization; cytokines; FOXP3; immune-maturation; lactobacilli; lymphocytes; NK-cells; Staphylococcus aureus; unconventional T-cells; molekylär biovetenskap; Molecular Bioscience;

    Abstract : At birth, the immune system is immature and the gut microbiota influences immune maturation. Staphylococcus aureus (S. aureus) and lactobacilli are part of the neonatal gut microbiota and have seemingly opposite effects on the immune system. S. READ MORE
