1. Antibody Feedback Regulation : From Epitope Masking to T Helper Cell Activation
Abstract : Antibodies have the ability to influence the antibody response against the very antigen they are specific for, in a process called antibody feedback regulation. Depending on the nature of the antigen, the antibody response can be either enhanced or almost completely inhibited. READ MORE

2. On the Immune Regulation of Bone Response to Biomaterials
Abstract : Osseointegration is the biological basis for bone anchorage of oral implants, and revolu-tionized the replacement of lost teeth. It is also applied in bone anchored hearing aids and limb replacement in amputees. READ MORE

3. Bacterial Regulation of Peripheral Immunity : Mechanistic insights from lactobacilli and Staphylococcus aureus
Abstract : There is a constant cross-talk between our immune system and the colonizing microbiota. The gut resident bacteria produce a broad range of molecules with regulatory activities in both local and distal tissues. Staphylococcus (S. READ MORE

4. Immune Regulation During Malaria Infection
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

5. Fcγ Receptors in the Immune Response
Abstract : Circulating immune complexes play an important role in the modulation of antibody responses and in the pathogenesis of immune diseases. This thesis deals with the in vivo regulatory properties of antibodies and their specific Fc receptors. READ MORE
