  2. 21. Studies of Mesenchymal Progenitor Cells and Tumour Growth, Integrins and Matrix Metalloproteinases

    Author : Lars Bryngelsson Ohlsson; Immunologi; []
    Keywords : MEDICIN OCH HÄLSOVETENSKAP; MEDICAL AND HEALTH SCIENCES; Immunology; Tumour inhibition; cancer; onkologi; cancerology; Cytologi; oncology; Cytology; Biologi; Biology; Medicin människa och djur ; Medicine human and vertebrates ; Integrin matrix metalloproteinase interaction; Immunologi; serologi; transplantation; Proteins; enzymology; Proteiner; enzymologi; serology; Mesenchumal progenitor cells;

    Abstract : In this thesis we characterize the effect of mesenchymal progenitor cells (MPCs) on tumour growth, and show that MPCs can have inhibitory effects on tumour development. We developed a method to subcutaneously transplant tumour cells, cultured in vitro in a pre-formed gelatin matrix, that made it possible to study the early phases of tumour development. READ MORE

  4. 22. Cartilage proteins and their arthritogenic properties in arthritis

    Author : Stefan Carlsén; Immunologi; []
    Keywords : MEDICIN OCH HÄLSOVETENSKAP; MEDICAL AND HEALTH SCIENCES; transplantation; Immunologi; serologi; serology; Immunology; HLA-DR4; tolerance; COMP; CXI; CIX; arthritis; Cartilage; collagen;

    Abstract : In this thesis the role of cartilage proteins and their potential as antigen and availability to the immune system in arthritis were investigated. Six papers are included; where four present new animal models for Rheumatoid arthritis (RA), one shows how genetic disorders in cartilage may affect arthritis and the last how posttranslational modification of collagen type II (CII) affects tolerance.

  5. 23. Immunological aspects on cystic fibrosis lung disease

    Author : Malin Carlsson; Njurmedicin; []
    Keywords : MEDICIN OCH HÄLSOVETENSKAP; MEDICAL AND HEALTH SCIENCES; MEDICIN OCH HÄLSOVETENSKAP; MEDICAL AND HEALTH SCIENCES; transplantation; Immunology; serology; pyocyanin; mannan binding lectin; Pseudomonas aeruginosa; ANCA; Cystic fibrosis; bactericidal permeability increasing protein; Immunologi; serologi;

    Abstract : In cystic fibrosis (CF) colonization of the airways with Pseudomonas aeruginosa is a major cause of deterioration and death. Host defence fails to clear the invading bacteria, which results in a chronic destructive inflammatory process. READ MORE

  6. 24. The acidic domain, the human version and the protein interaction of the ETS transcription factor SPI-C

    Author : Robert Carlsson; Immunologi; []
    Keywords : MEDICIN OCH HÄLSOVETENSKAP; MEDICAL AND HEALTH SCIENCES; serology; transplantation; Immunologi; serologi; Immunology; B-lymphocyte; phylogeny; STAT6; SPI-C; transcription;

    Abstract : Primary infections and vaccination stimulates the immunesystem to produce memory cells that rapidly respond to reexposure of the same antigen. These memory responses are dependent on an adaptive type of immunity that sustains the reactivity of the immune system by long-lived memory immune cells. READ MORE

  7. 25. Studies on the function of CD4CD25 regulatory T cells: An in vitro approach

    Author : Lukas Cederbom; Immunologi; []
    Keywords : MEDICIN OCH HÄLSOVETENSKAP; MEDICAL AND HEALTH SCIENCES; Immunology; CD152; Costimulation; Dendritic cells; Regulatory T cells; CD4 CD25 ; serology; transplantation; Immunologi; serologi;

    Abstract : Immunological self-tolerance is a state of the whole organism where deleterious responses are either avoided or regulated. Breaking of immunological tolerance will lead to autoimmune disease or chronic inflammatory conditions. READ MORE
