Abstract:
<p>More than a century after the identification of the tubercle bacillus and the first attempts at vaccination, tuberculosis (TB) still remains one of the world’s most serious infectious diseases. TB, caused by the bacterium <i>Mycobacterium tuberculosis</i>, is typically a disease of the lung, which serves both as port of entry and as the major site of disease manifestation. The currently used vaccine, BCG, is administered parenterally and induces a systemic immune response. However, it fails to protect against pulmonary TB, thereby raising the question whether vaccination targeting the mucos

<p>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.

Essentially, these bacteria are in constant contact with the gut flora associated lymphoid tissue, the largest lymphoid tissue of the human body.

Abstract:
<p>Onchocerciasis, or river blindness, is a parasitic disease that affects more than 20 million people globally. The induction of pathology is directly related to the presence and destruction of the microfilarial stages (mf) of this filarial nematode. The disease presents clinically with a wide spectrum of dermal and ocular manifestations, the basis of the variation is believed to involve the immune system. The clinical presentations of infected hosts relate to the intensity of the reactions against the parasite. Anti-microfilarial drugs are also thought to somehow involve the immune system in

Background: Type 1 diabetes (T1D) is a chronic, autoimmune disease caused by a T cell mediated destruction of ß-cells in pancreas. The development of T1D is determined by a combination of genetic susceptibility genes and environmental factors involved in the pathogenesis of T1D. This thesis aimed to investigate diverse environmental and immunological risk factors associated with the development of T1D. This was accomplished by comparing autoantibody development, T cell responses and the function of CD4+CD25+ regulatory T cells between healthy children, children at risk of T1D and T1D patients.

They are major players in intercellular communication and have been found in all body fluids including plasma. In this study, we wanted to characterize the exosomes from sarcoidosis patients’ plasma and try to detect differences in their surface marker expression.

Granulomatosis with polyangiitis (GPA, formerly known as Wegener’s granulomatosis) is a rare and sometimes fatal systemic autoimmune disease. Anti-neutrophil cytoplasmic antibodies (ANCAs) specific for proteinase 3 (PR3) are associated with GPA. However, the pathogenesis of GPA is not yet clear. Our aim was to investigate the local autoimmune response, circulating immune modulatory cells and cells expressing the immune suppressor molecules programmed death 1 (PD-1) and its ligands in GPA. In mucosa from GPA patients, activated B cells were observed located alongside PR3 expressing cells and B

Abstract:
This thesis describes work undertaken by the author at the University of Oxford. It begins by providing an introduction to malaria infection and pathophysiology, and a review of the latest attempts to produce an effective malaria vaccine. It goes on to describe the rationale behind the vaccines developed by the University of Oxford and others. A brief introduction to the process of planning and carrying out clinical trials of vaccines is then provided, and is followed by chapters describing two clinical trials, designed to test the safety, immunogenicity and then efficacy of candidate malaria

Abstract:
Le corps humain est quotidiennement exposé à de nombreux micro-organismes et le système immunitaire est responsable du maintien de son intégrité. Suite à une infection, le système immunitaire inné déclenche une réponse rapide, non spécifique à l’agent pathogène, et amorce le système immunitaire adaptatif qui lui permet de contenir et d’éliminer spécifiquement le pathogène. Tous les virus et de nombreuses bactéries entrent dans le cytosol des cellules hôtes et commencent à se répliquer. Bien que les acides nucléiques possèdent une structure universelle, l’ADN du soi est présent dans les noyaux
