Averina, Maria; Hervig, Tor; Huber, Sandra; Kjær, Mette; Kristoffersen, Einar Klæboe; Bolann, Bjørn Johan (Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2020)Objectives The aim of this study was to measure blood concentrations of environmental pollutants in Norwegian donors and evaluate the risk of pollutant exposure through blood transfusions. Background Transfused blood ... -
The immunology of the periodic fever, aphthous stomatitis, pharyngitis and cervical adenitis syndrome; what can the tonsils reveal. A literature review.
Førsvoll, Jostein Andersen; Kristoffersen, Einar Klæboe; Øymar, Knut (Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2020)Objectives: Tonsillectomy (TE) or adenotonsillectomy (ATE) may have a beneficial effect on the clinical course in children with the periodic fever, aphthous stomatitis, pharyngitis and cervical adenitis (PFAPA) syndrome. ... -
Immunomodulation induced by stem cell mobilization and harvesting in healthy donors: Increased systemic osteopontin levels after treatment with granulocyte colony-stimulating factor
Melve, Guro Kristin; Ersvær, Elisabeth; Akkøk, Cigdem Ahaein; Ahmed, Aymen B; Kristoffersen, Einar Klæboe; Hervig, Tor; Bruserud, Øystein (Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2016-07-19)Peripheral blood stem cells from healthy donors mobilized by granulocyte colony-stimulating factor (G-CSF) and harvested by leukapheresis are commonly used for allogeneic stem cell transplantation. The frequency of severe ... -
Increased infiltration and tolerised antigen-specific CD8+ TEM cells in tumor but not peripheral blood have no impact on survival of HCMV+ glioblastoma patients
Bahador, Marzieh; Gras Navarro, Andrea; Rahman, Mohummad Aminur; Dominguez Valentin, Mev; Sarowar, Shahin; Ulvestad, Elling; Njølstad, Gro; Lie, Stein Atle; Kristoffersen, Einar Klæboe; Bratland, Eirik; Enger, Martha Chekenya (Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2017)Human cytomegalovirus (HCMV) antigens in glioblastoma (GBM) present opportunities for personalised immunotherapy.

Melve, Guro Kristin; Ersvær, Elisabeth; Eide, Geir Egil; Kristoffersen, Einar Klæboe; Bruserud, Øystein (Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2018-05-02)Background: Allogeneic hematopoietic stem cell transplantation is associated with a high risk of immune-mediated post-transplant complications. Graft depletion of immunocompetent cell subsets is regarded as a possible ... -
Platelet functionality in cold-stored whole blood
Kristoffersen, Einar Klæboe; Apelseth, Torunn Oveland (Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2019)Whole blood is currently being reintroduced as a blood product to be used in massive bleeding situations because it affords plasma, red cells and platelets in a balanced ratio and in a logistical advantageous way. Questions ... -
Pretreatment of glioblastoma with bortezomib potentiates natural killer cell cytotoxicity through TRAIL/DR5 mediated apoptosis and prolongs animal survival
Gras Navarro, Andrea; Espedal, Heidi; Vareecal Joseph, Justin; Moncho, Laura Trachsel; Bahador, Marzieh; Gjertsen, Bjørn Tore; Kristoffersen, Einar Klæboe; Simonsen, Anne; Miletic, Hrvoje; Enger, Per Øyvind; Rahman, Mohummad Aminur; Enger, Martha Chekenya (Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2019-07-17)Background: Natural killer (NK) cells are potential effectors in anti-cancer immunotherapy; however only a subset potently kills cancer cells. Here, we examined whether pretreatment of glioblastoma (GBM) with the proteasome ...
