  2. 1. Functions and memory features of adaptive- and innate immune cells in physiological and inflammatory settings

    Author : Gintare Lasaviciute; Eva Sverremark-Ekström; Silke Appel; Stockholms universitet; []
    Keywords : NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; Innate immune memory; Limosilactobacillus reuteri; dendritic cells; lymphocytes; cytokines; immunological memory; intestinal epithelial cells; chemotherapy; bone marrow; secondary lymphoid organs; molekylär biovetenskap; Molecular Bioscience;

    Abstract : The immune system is a complex but well-regulated network which cooperates with the microbiota to maintain optimal homeostasis under physiological settings. A number of factors display the capacity to alter the immune system and thus microbiota crosstalk including host genetics, diet, environmental influences and drugs such as antibiotics or chemotherapeutic agents.

    Keywords : MEDICIN OCH HÄLSOVETENSKAP; MEDICAL AND HEALTH SCIENCES; small intestine; transplantation; serologi; CCR9; CCL25; chemokines; lymphocyte homing; Immunology; serology; Immunologi;

    Abstract : Lymphocytes are important mediators of adaptive immune responses. Naive T lymphocytes circulate in the blood and lymph between different secondary lymphoid organs in search for their specific antigen. READ MORE

  7. 5. Trafficking of Human Dendritic Cells and B cells in Helicobacter pylori-induced Gastritis

    Author : Malin Hansson; Göteborgs universitet; []
    Keywords : Helicobacter pylori; migration; homing; dendritic cells; B cells; gastric mucosa;

    Abstract : Infection with the bacterium Helicobacter pylori is widespread throughout the world, and is associated with development of gastric and duodenal ulcer disease as well as gastric adenocarcinoma and mucosa associated lymphoid tissue lymphoma. The infection generally leads to a large infiltration of immune cells, among them dendrite cells (DC) and IgA-secreting cells. READ MORE
