A 2-Dose AERAS-402 Regimen Boosts CD8+ Polyfunctionality in HIV-Negative, BCG-Vaccinated Recipients
(Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2021)Despite the widespread use of BCG, tuberculosis (TB) remains a global threat. Existing vaccine candidates in clinical trials are designed to replace or boost BCG which does not provide satisfying long-term protection. ... -
21-Hydroxylase-Specific CD8+ T Cells in Autoimmune Addison’s Disease Are Restricted by HLA-A2 and HLA-C7 Molecules
(Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2021)Objectives: CD8+ T cells targeting 21-hydroxylase (21OH) are presumed to play a central role in the destruction of adrenocortical cells in autoimmune Addison’s disease (AAD). Earlier reports have suggested two immunodominant ... -
Aberrant signaling of immune cells in Sjögren's syndrome patient subgroups upon interferon stimulation
(Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2022)Background: Primary Sjögren’s syndrome (pSS) is a systemic autoimmune disease, characterized by mononuclear cell infiltrates in the salivary and lacrimal glands, leading to glandular atrophy and dryness. Patient heterogeneity ... -
Altered immune activation and IL-23 signaling in response to Candida albicans in autoimmune polyendocrine syndrome type 1
(Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2017-09-01)Objective: Autoimmune polyendocrine syndrome type 1 (APS-1) is a rare, childhood onset disease caused by mutations in the autoimmune regulator (AIRE) gene. Chronic mucocutaneous candidiasis (CMC) is one of the three major ... -
Candidate markers for stratification and classification in rheumatoid arthritis
(Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2019-07-05)Rheumatoid arthritis (RA) is a chronic autoimmune, inflammatory disease, characterized by synovitis in small- and medium-sized joints and, if not treated early and efficiently, joint damage, and destruction. RA is a ... -
Characterization of Glycosylation-Specific Systemic and Mucosal IgA Antibody Responses to Escherichia coli Mucinase YghJ (SslE)
(Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2021)Efforts to develop broadly protective vaccines against pathogenic Escherichia coli are ongoing. A potential antigen candidate for vaccine development is the metalloprotease YghJ, or SslE. YghJ is a conserved mucinase that ... -
Cholesterol crystals and NLRP3 mediated inflammation in the uterine wall decidua in normal and preeclamptic pregnancies
(Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2020)Preeclampsia is a hypertensive and inflammatory pregnancy disorder associated with cholesterol accumulation and inflammation at the maternal-fetal interface. Preeclampsia can be complicated with fetal growth restriction ... -
Common nodes of virus-host interaction revealed through an integrated network analysis
(Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2019-10-04)Viruses are one of the major causes of acute and chronic infectious diseases and thus a major contributor to the global burden of disease. Several studies have shown how viruses have evolved to hijack basic cellular pathways ... -
Disturbed lipid profile in common variable immunodeficiency – a pathogenic loop of inflammation and metabolic disturbances
(Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2023)The relationship between metabolic and inflammatory pathways play a pathogenic role in various cardiometabolic disorders and is potentially also involved in the pathogenesis of other disorders such as cancer, autoimmunity ... -
The evolution of humoral immune responses to past and novel influenza virus strains gives evidence for antigenic seniority
(Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2022)The high genetic and antigenic variability of influenza virus and the repeated exposures of individuals to the virus over time account for the human immune responses toward this pathogen to continuously evolve during the ... -
An external quality assessment feasibility study; cross laboratory comparison of haemagglutination inhibition assay and microneutralization assay performance for seasonal influenza serology testing: A FLUCOP study
(Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2023)Introduction: External Quality Assessment (EQA) schemes are designed to provide a snapshot of laboratory proficiency, identifying issues and providing feedback to improve laboratory performance and inter-laboratory agreement ... -
Fueling the flames of colon cancer – does CRP play a direct pro-inflammatory role?
(Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2023-03-17)Background: Systemic inflammation, diagnostically ascribed by measuring serum levels of the acute phase reactant C-reactive protein (CRP), has consistently been correlated with poor outcomes across cancer types. CRP exists ... -
Functional and Binding H1N1pdm09-Specific Antibody Responses in Occasionally and Repeatedly Vaccinated Healthcare Workers: A Five-Year Study (2009-2014)
(Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2021)Background: In 2009, a novel influenza A/H1N1pdm09 emerged and caused a pandemic. This strain continued to circulate and was therefore included in the seasonal vaccines up to the 2016/2017-season. This provided a unique ... -
GM-CSF, Flt3-L and IL-4 affect viability and function of conventional dendritic cell types 1 and 2
(Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2023-01-12)Conventional type 1 dendritic cells (cDC1) and conventional type 2 dendritic cells (cDC2) have attracted increasing attention as alternatives to monocyte-derived dendritic cells (moDCs) in cancer immunotherapy. Use of cDCs ... -
Gut microbiota-dependent trimethylamine N-oxide associates with inflammation in common variable immunodeficiency
(Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2020)A substantial proportion of patients with common variable immunodeficiency (CVID) have inflammatory and autoimmune complications of unknown etiology. We have previously shown that systemic inflammation in CVID correlates ... -
Haemagglutination inhibition and virus microneutralisation serology assays: use of harmonised protocols and biological standards in seasonal influenza serology testing and their impact on inter-laboratory variation and assay correlation: A FLUCOP collaborative study
(Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2023)Introduction: The haemagglutination inhibition assay (HAI) and the virus microneutralisation assay (MN) are long-established methods for quantifying antibodies against influenza viruses. Despite their widespread use, both ... -
