  2. 16. Immune Regulation During Malaria Infection

    Author : Helena Helmby; Edvard Pearce; Stockholms universitet; []
    Keywords : NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; immunologi; Immunology;

    Abstract : Malaria is the largest parasitic disease in the world and is caused by the protozoon Plasmodium. The most severe form in humans is caused by Plasmodium falciparum. Immunity to malaria involves both cell-mediated and humoral responses and develops slowly over a period of ten to fifteen years, requiring repeated infections. READ MORE

  4. 17. Immune modulation in chronic HBV and HCV infection

    Author : Catharina Hultgren; Karolinska Institutet; Karolinska Institutet; []
    Keywords : HBV; HBeAg; HCV; NS3; chronic infection; humoral cellular immune response; Th1 Th2 cells; proliferative response;

    Abstract : Chronic viral hepatitis is a major health problem worldwide. The two major viral causes for chronic hepatitis are the hepatitis B (HBV) and C viruses (HCV). HBV is a DNA virus with a rather limited genetic variability whereas HCV is an RNA virus with a high genetic variability. READ MORE

  5. 18. Mast cells: bad enemies or good friends? : A study of the effects of IgG immune complexes on mast cell biology

    Author : Lisa M Larsson; Göteborgs universitet; []
    Keywords : MEDICIN OCH HÄLSOVETENSKAP; MEDICAL AND HEALTH SCIENCES; Mast cell; Fc receptor; Apoptosis; Immune complex; Adjuvant; CTA1-DD.;

    Abstract : Mast cells are classically defined as bad enemies to human health due to their critical involvement in IgE-dependent allergy by virtue of the expression of the high affinity IgE receptor, FcgammaRI, on these cells. However, mouse mast cells also express FcgammaRIIB and FcgammaRIIIA, two receptors that bind IgG especially in the form of IgG immune complexes. READ MORE

  6. 19. Puumala hantavirus : immune responses and vaccines

    Author : Cristina de Carvalho Nicacio; Karolinska Institutet; Karolinska Institutet; []
    Keywords : Hantavirus; Puumala virus; nucleocapsid protein; neutralizing antibodies; Fab fragment; combinatorial library; phage-display; IgA; cellular immunity; cross-protection; intranasal vaccination;

    Abstract : Hantaviruses (family Bunyaviridae) is a group of closely related zoonotic rodent-borne viruses that are transmitted to humans through inhalation of infected rodent excreta. They cause hemorrhagic fever with renal syndrome (HFRS) or hantavirus pulmonary syndrome (HPS) with varying degree of severity depending on the causative virus. READ MORE

  7. 20. Stress- and immune defence in Drosophila melanogaster

    Author : Sophia Ekengren; Robert DeLotto; Stockholms universitet; []
    Keywords : NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; Zoological Developmental Biology; zoologisk utvecklingsbiologi;

    Abstract : Many cellular responses are regulated at the transcriptional level. Newly synthesized proteins and peptides rapidly exert their function at the time of expression, as a response to different environmental cues. READ MORE
