  2. 1. Experimental models of pediatric brain tumors. Establishment, immunophenotyping and clinical implications

    Author : Emma Sandén; Neurokirurgi; []
    Keywords : MEDICIN OCH HÄLSOVETENSKAP; MEDICAL AND HEALTH SCIENCES; MEDICIN OCH HÄLSOVETENSKAP; MEDICAL AND HEALTH SCIENCES; MEDICIN OCH HÄLSOVETENSKAP; MEDICAL AND HEALTH SCIENCES; Pediatric Brain Tumor; Experimental model; Immunotherapy; Immune monitoring; Medulloblastoma;

    Abstract : Brain tumors are the most common solid tumors in children. Current treatment protocols fail in 25% of patients and are associated with significant long-term adverse effects in survivors. READ MORE

  4. 2. Detection of donor cells in recipient tissues after stem cell transplantation using FISH and immunophenotyping

    Author : Monika Jansson; Karolinska Institutet; Karolinska Institutet; []
    Keywords : ;

    Abstract : Haematopoietic stem cell transplantation (HSCT) is curative therapy for many malignant and non-malignant diseases. Effective conditioning regimen is an important component of HSCT in order to achieve a successful engraftment and to pursue a curative treatment. Conditioning regimens consist of chemotherapy with or without total body irradiation. READ MORE

  5. 3. Multiparameter flow cytometry and minimal residual disease in patients with acute leukemia

    Author : Elisabet Björklund; Karolinska Institutet; Karolinska Institutet; []
    Keywords : Flow cytometry; immunophenotyping; Minimal Residual Disease; acute leukemia; hernatopoietic stem cells;

    Abstract : The investigation of minimal residual disease (MRD) with multiparameter flow cytometry (FC) immunophenotyping has proven to be a powerful approach for disease monitoring in patients with acute leukemia (AL). This technique mainly relies on the identification of minor leukemic cell populations that can be discriminated from their normal counterparts on the basis of phenotypic aberrancies observed at diagnosis.

  6. 4. Varicella immunity and vaccination

    Author : Anita Svahn; Karolinska Institutet; Karolinska Institutet; []
    Keywords : ;

    Abstract : Varicella-zoster virus (VZV) is an air-borne, extremely contagious herpesvirus. It causes chickenpox, which usually is a benign illness in childhood. Adults, pregnant women and immunocompromised patients often get a severe disease with complications. After infection the virus stays latent in sensory ganglia. READ MORE

  7. 5. Telomere analysis of normal and neoplastic hematopoietic cells : studies focusing on fluorescence in situ hybridization and flow cytometry

    Author : Magnus Hultdin; Umeå universitet; []
    Keywords : MEDICIN OCH HÄLSOVETENSKAP; MEDICAL AND HEALTH SCIENCES; Biomedicine; telomere; telomerase; fluorescence in situ hybridization; flow cytometry; flow-FISH; replication timing; chronic lymphocytic leukemia; immunoglobulin gene; prognosis; Biomedicin; Microbiology; Mikrobiologi; Medical Cell Biology; medicinsk cellbiologi;

    Abstract : The telomeres are specialized structures at the end of the chromosomes composed of the repeated DNA sequence (TTAGGG)n and specific proteins bound to the DNA. The telomeres protect the chromosomes from degradation and end to end fusions. READ MORE
