  2. 21. Vaccine-induced aluminium allergy and long-lasting subcutaneous itching nodules

    Author : Anette Gente-Lidholm; Göteborgs universitet; []
    Keywords : MEDICIN OCH HÄLSOVETENSKAP; MEDICAL AND HEALTH SCIENCES; Childhood vaccine; Adverse event; Aluminium; Aluminium allergy; Itching nodules; Subcutaneous granulomas; Patch test; Tolerance;

    Abstract : Background: Aluminium contact dermatitis is rare even though aluminium is frequently used in antiperspirants and sunscreens. Sensitisation to aluminium is mostly a side effect of aluminium-adsorbed vaccines. These can also induce long-lasting intensely itching subcutaneous nodules (granulomas) at the injection site.

  4. 22. Functions of glycoprotein G of herpes simplex virus type 2

    Author : Staffan Görander; Göteborgs universitet; []
    Keywords : Herpes simplex virus type 2; glycoprotein G-2; type specific serology; vaccine; Tanzania;

    Abstract : Background: Herpes simplex virus type 2 (HSV-2) is a common sexually transmitted infection with more than 500 million individuals infected world-wide. A major global health problem is that HSV-2 infection facilitates the spread of HIV. This epidemiological situation warrants the development of a vaccine to reduce the spread of HSV-2. READ MORE

  5. 23. Antibodies for better or worse or Antibody variability in an egg-laying mammal and a novel strategy in the treatment of allergies

    Author : Jeannette Johansson; Kjell-Olov Grönvik; Uppsala universitet; []
    Keywords : NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; Cell and molecular biology; Antibody; variability; platypus; allergy; vaccine; adjuvant; Cell- och molekylärbiologi; Cell and molecular biology; Cell- och molekylärbiologi; Molecular Immunology; molekylär immunologi;

    Abstract : Antibodies are a central part of the immune defense system, and a large variability in their specificity is needed in order to be able to react against all possible foreign substances we may encounter during our lives. In this thesis, results are presented from investigations into how an egg-laying mammal, the Australian duck-billed platypus (Ornithorhynchus anatinus) creates antibody variability. READ MORE

  6. 24. Immunogenicity and protective potential of Protein D of Haemophilus influenzae against H. influenzae infection

    Abstract : Both Haemophilus influenzae type b (Hib) and nontypeable H. influenzae (NTHi) are important human pathogens causing invasive and mucosal infections. Currently there are number of vaccines available against Hib infections. READ MORE

  7. 25. The rise and fall of IgE

    Author : Molly Vernersson; Rikard Holmdahl; Uppsala universitet; []
