  2. 1. Cytokine studies in the generation and treatment of IgE-mediated allergy

    Author : Ankie Söderlund; Huub Savelkoul; Stockholms universitet; []
    Keywords : NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; Cytokines; Hypersensitivity; Allergy; Allergi; immunologi; Immunology;

    Abstract : So called Th2 cytokines, such as IL-4 and IL-13 are responsible for the formation of IgE antibodies, the effector antibody in atopic allergy. Cytokines of Th1 type, for example IFN-g, inhibit these responses. This thesis describes work aimed at elucidating the cytokine production underlying IgE-mediated allergy. READ MORE

  4. 2. Early-life gut microbiota and breast milk oligosaccharides in relation to childhood immune maturation and allergy

    Author : Ylva Margareta Sjögren; Eva Sverremark-Ekström; Outi Vaarala; Stockholms universitet; []
    Keywords : NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; allergy; infant; gut microbiota; human milk oligosaccharides; Bifidobacterium; Lactobacillus; Bacteroides fragilis; Clostridium difficile; family size; secretory IgA; toll like receptor; Immunology; Immunologi; immunologi; Immunology;

    Abstract : Atopic allergy is the most common chronic disease among children in the developed world. This high prevalence could be associated with low microbial exposure. The early gut microbiota appears to be important for immune maturation. READ MORE

  5. 3. Purification, characterization and immunological studies of rat urinary proteins causing allergy in humans

    Author : Cecilia Bayard; Gabriel Peltre; Stockholms universitet; []
    Keywords : NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; allergen; laboratory animal allergy; rat urinary protein; Rat n 1.02; a2u-globulin; purification; chemiluminescence; immunologi; Immunology;

    Abstract : Rats are among the most frequently used laboratory animals and allergy to them constitutes a common occupational problem. Approximately 20-30% of the persons engaged in work with laboratory animals acquire symptoms of allergy. READ MORE

  6. 4. Cytokine responses in metal-induced allergic contact dermatitis : Relationship to in vivo responses and implication for in vitro diagnosis

    Author : Jacob Minang; Marita Troye-Blomberg; Niklas Ahlborg; Rik Scheper; Stockholms universitet; []
    Keywords : NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; Metal allergy; Contact dermatitis; cytokines; ELISA; ELISpot; Flow cytometry; Immunology; Immunologi;

    Abstract : Transition metals such as nickel (Ni), cobalt (Co), palladium (Pd), chromium (Cr) and gold (Au) are widely used as alloys in jewelry and biomaterials such as orthodontic and orthopaedic appliances. These metals also cause cell-mediated allergic contact dermatitis (ACD) reactions in a significant proportion of the population upon prolonged direct exposure. READ MORE

  7. 5. Early infant gut flora and neutral oligosaccharides in colostrum in relation to allergy development in children

    Author : Ylva Sjögren; Eva Sverremark-Ekström; Stockholms universitet; []
    Keywords : NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; Immunology; Immunologi;

    Abstract : Today, atopic allergy is the most common chronic disease among children in the developed world. The increase in allergy prevalence during the past decades in these countries might be associated with lower microbial exposure. READ MORE
