  2. 1. Endocytosis by human dendritic cells

    Author : Linda Andersson; Malmö högskola; []
    Keywords : human dendritic cells; endocytosis;

    Abstract : Dendritic cells (DCs) are specialized antigen-presenting cells with the ability to internalize antigen, and present antigen-derived peptides to T cells. The functions of DCs depend on the subset, as well as their location and activation state. READ MORE

  4. 2. Potential immunoregulatory role of T and dendritic cells in cancer : Investigations based on transcriptional analysis

    Author : Milad Abolhalaj; Institutionen för immunteknologi; []
    Keywords : MEDICIN OCH HÄLSOVETENSKAP; MEDICAL AND HEALTH SCIENCES; MEDICIN OCH HÄLSOVETENSKAP; MEDICAL AND HEALTH SCIENCES; Dendritic cells; T cells; head and neck cancer; acute myeloid leukemia; bladder cancer; T cell exhaustion;

    Abstract : Cancer is a complex disease with various genetic and epigenetic driving factors. Cancer cells form a favored microenvironment to sustain their uncontrolled behavior leading to abnormal growth. With standard treatment including chemotherapy, relapse risk is high due to the resistance that cancer cells can develop against chemotherapy agents. READ MORE

  5. 3. Human Dendritic Cells and the Regulation of Allergic Immune Responses

    Author : Malin Lindstedt; Institutionen för immunteknologi; []
    Keywords : MEDICIN OCH HÄLSOVETENSKAP; MEDICAL AND HEALTH SCIENCES; serology; transplantation; Immunologi; serologi; Immunology; allergic rhinitis; inflammation; transcriptional profiling; T cells; Dendritic cells; microarray;

    Abstract : Dendritic cells (DC) are a heterogeneous lineage of bone-marrow-derived leukocytes that serve as the link between innate and adaptive immunity. They are professional antigen-presenting cells that play an important protective and regulatory role in both health and disease. READ MORE

  6. 4. Subsets of Human Dendritic Cells and their Role in Allergy

    Author : Kristina Lundberg; Institutionen för immunteknologi; []
    Keywords : MEDICIN OCH HÄLSOVETENSKAP; MEDICAL AND HEALTH SCIENCES; allergy; Dendritic cells; histamine; antibody mediated allergen-presentation; Dendritic cell subsets;

    Abstract : The immune system has evolved to protect the human body against harmful invaders. At the same time, development of tolerance against self-derived and innocuous foreign antigens is of vital importance in order to avoid detrimental immune disorders. In allergic conditions, hypersensitivity is developed against harmless antigens, such as pollen. READ MORE

  7. 5. Biomarkers in sepsis and other severe infections

    Author : Helena Janols; Enheten för infektionssjukdomar; []
    Keywords : MEDICIN OCH HÄLSOVETENSKAP; MEDICAL AND HEALTH SCIENCES; immunosuppression; myeloid-derived suppressor cells; T cells; dendritic cells; monocytes; sepsis; Biomarkers;

    Abstract : Infectious diseases constitute a major global health problem. The presenting clinical picture results from a mixture of direct toxic actions by the microbiological agent and of the immune response mounted by the host. READ MORE
