2. 1. Minimal Residual Disease Assessment in Childhood Acute Lymphoblastic Leukemia

   Author : Ingrid Thörn; Christer Sundström; Richard Rosenquist; Gisela Barbany; Johan Botling; Kjeld Schmiegelow; Uppsala universitet; []
   Keywords : MEDICIN OCH HÄLSOVETENSKAP; MEDICAL AND HEALTH SCIENCES; Childhood acute lymphoblastic leukemia; minimal residual disease; IG TCR gene rearrangements; BCR-ABL1 fusion gene transcripts; real-time quantitative PCR; multicolor flow cytometry; Pathology; Patologi; Pathology; patologi;

   Abstract : Traditionally, response to treatment in hematological malignancies is evaluated by light microscopy of bone marrow (BM) smears, but due to more effective therapies more sensitive methods are needed. Today, detection of minimal residual disease (MRD) using immunological and molecular techniques can be 100 times more sensitive than morphology. READ MORE

4. 2. Measurable residual disease and clonal evolution in acute myeloid leukemia with focus on NPM1-mutations

   Author : Louise Pettersson; Lund Patologi; []
   Keywords : MEDICIN OCH HÄLSOVETENSKAP; MEDICAL AND HEALTH SCIENCES; MEDICIN OCH HÄLSOVETENSKAP; MEDICAL AND HEALTH SCIENCES; AML; MRD; Measurable residual disease; NPM1; NPM1-mutation; NPM1 type A mutation; clonal evolution; clonal patterns; subclones; genetic evolution; qPCR; RQ-PCR; ddPCR; deep seq; deep sequencing; NGS; RT-qPCR; old; elderly; MFC; flow cytometry;

   Abstract : Acute myeloid leukemia (AML) is the most common form of acute leukemia in adults, with mutations in the NPM1 gene occurring in almost one third of all cases. The ability to detect residual leukemia below the resolution of conventional microscopy is crucial for evaluation of relapse risk after therapy. READ MORE

5. 3. Characterization of human gamma delta T cells in allogeneic hematopoietic stem cell transplantation

   Author : Ahmed Gaballa; Karolinska Institutet; Karolinska Institutet; []
   Keywords : ;

   Abstract : Over the last five decades, allogeneic hematopoietic stem cell transplantation (HSCT) has evolved rapidly, continuing to offer a cure for several hematological diseases. Nevertheless, associated life-threatening complications remain an obstacle against exploiting its full therapeutic benefit. READ MORE

6. 4. CNS-Targeted Cell Therapy for Multiple Sclerosis

   Author : Moa Fransson; Angelica Loskog; Tomas Olsson; Uppsala universitet; []
   Keywords : MEDICIN OCH HÄLSOVETENSKAP; MEDICAL AND HEALTH SCIENCES; CAR; Targeting; Suppressive cells; Foxp3; Tregs; Clinical immunology; Klinisk immunologi; Immunologi; Immunology;

   Abstract : Multiple sclerosis (MS) is an autoimmune disorder of the central nervous system (CNS). In the current thesis, we have preformed an immunological investigation of patients with MS and developed an immunosuppressive cell therapy that could be beneficial for these patients. READ MORE

7. 5. The ontogeny and regulation of human natural killer cells

   Author : Martin A Ivarsson; Karolinska Institutet; Karolinska Institutet; []
   Keywords : ;

   Abstract : Natural Killer (NK) cells are members of the innate lymphoid cell (ILC) family and take part in the detection and eradication of virus-infected and transformed cells. In this thesis, together with my colleagues I have investigated how NK cells and other ILCs develop and function during human fetal development, how NK cells are functionally regulated (educated) via the activating receptor KIR2DS1, and how NK cells in our body are affected during the early phase of an acute viral infection.
