  2. 16. Function and Regulation of B-cell Subsets in Experimental Autoimmune Arthritis

    Author : Anna-Karin E. Palm; Sandra Kleinau; Susanna Cardell; Uppsala universitet; []
    Keywords : NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; B cells; marginal zone; autoimmune arthritis; spleen; lymph node; antigen presentation; Fc gamma receptor IIb; complement receptors 1 and 2; mast cells; Biologi med inriktning mot molekylär immunologi; Biology with specialization in Molecular Immunology;

    Abstract : B lymphocytes play a significant role in autoimmune arthritis, with their function stretching beyond autoantibody production to cytokine secretion and presentation of autoantigen. However, the involvement and activation of different B-cell subset in the autoimmune response is not fully clear. READ MORE

  4. 17. Recurrent Aphthous Stomatitis - A study, with emphasis on host genetics, oral microbiota composition, and immunoregulatory networks

    Abstract : Recurrent aphthous stomatitis (RAS) is one of the most common oral mucosal lesions. The aetiology is unknown and currently there is no consensus regarding suitable treatment regimens. READ MORE

  5. 18. Ultrasound examination of lymph nodes in the hepato-duodenal ligament with special emphasis on patients with chronic liver diseases

    Author : Kerstin Lyttkens; Lund Diagnostisk radiologi; []
    Keywords : MEDICIN OCH HÄLSOVETENSKAP; MEDICAL AND HEALTH SCIENCES; Ultrasound diagnosis; magnetic resonance imaging; hepato-duodenal ligament; lymph node enlargement; biliary cirrhosis; chronic active hepatitis; humoral immunoreactivity; hepatocellular damage; cholestasis.;

    Abstract : The significance of finding lymph nodes in the hepato-duodenal ligament on ultrasound, with special emphasis on patients with inflammatory liver disease, has been evaluated. In one study a comparison was made with magnetic resonance imaging (MRI), which is another non-invasive imaging modality without the hazards of ionizing radiation. READ MORE

  6. 19. Sentinel lymph node biopsy in breast cancer : aspects on indications and limitations

    Author : Linda Holmstrand Zetterlund; Karolinska Institutet; Karolinska Institutet; []
    Keywords : ;

    Abstract : Axillary lymph node status is the most important prognostic factor in breast cancer. Sentinel lymph node biopsy (SLNB) was introduced in the late 1990s and has replaced axillary lymph node dissection (ALND) as the gold standard axillary nodal staging procedure in early breast cancer due to higher accuracy and less morbidity compared with ALND.

  7. 20. Sentinel node based immunotherapy of cancer

    Author : Mona Karlsson; Karolinska Institutet; Karolinska Institutet; []
    Keywords : ;

    Abstract : The tumor draining lymph node, the sentinel node, is regarded as a valuable station for staging and evaluating prognoses for patients with cancer. The object of this thesis was to investigate the immune response against solid cancers and to explore the sentinel node as a source of naturally occurring tumor reactive lymphocytes, for further activation and expansion in vitro for the purpose of immunotherapy.
