  2. 1. 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

  4. 2. The B lymphocyte in Staphylococcus aureus arthritis

    Author : Inger Gjertsson; Göteborgs universitet; []
    Keywords : Staphylococcus aureus; mice; arthritis; sepsis; B cells; Fcg receptors; CD22; ; IL-4; IL-10; IFN-g.;

    Abstract : Joint infection caused by Staphylococcus aureus leads to heavy synovitis and rapid destruction of bone and cartilage. Permanent loss of joint function is seen in 20-50% of the patients, despite early eradication of the bacteria with antibiotics. READ MORE

  5. 3. Islet xenotransplantation : An immunological study in the pig-to-mouse model

    Author : Birgitta Benda; Uppsala universitet; []

    Abstract : Successful clinical xenotransplantation, i.e., transplantation between species, would eliminate the shortage of donor organs. In order to study the acute cellular rejection reaction following discordant xenogeneic transplantation, an experimental pig-to- mouse islet xenotransplantation model was established. READ MORE

  6. 4. Cytokines in Staphylococcus aureus arthritis. For better for worse

    Abstract : Septic arthritis is an inflammatory condition in joints caused by in situ residing bacteria accompanied by a septic reaction. Bacteria reach their target via the blood stream and the major human pathogen is Staphylococcus aureus. READ MORE

  7. 5. Immunological mechanisms involved in seasonal pollen allergy and allergen-specific immunotherapy

    Author : Robert Movérare; Uppsala universitet; []
    Keywords : Medical sciences; Allergy; birch pollen; IFN-g; IgE; IgG; IgG4; IL-4; IL-5; IL-10; IL-13; immunotherapy; PBMC; rush immunotherapy; MEDICIN OCH VÅRD; MEDICINE; MEDICIN; lungmedicin; Lung Medicine;

    Abstract : Th1/Th2-like T-cell responses were studied by stimulating peripheral blood mononuclear cells (PBMCs) with allergens or antigens followed by restimulation with mitogens to induce high cytokine synthesis. Allergen-stimulation in vitro induced Th2-skewed cytokine synthesis by PBMCs from birch-pollen-allergic patients. READ MORE
