Abstract

This thesis work summarizes two scientific fields of interest of the author: The first group of studies represents experimental approaches in the field of immunopathology, analyzing translational questions of allogeneic hematopoietic stem cell transplantation. The focus here was on cell migration studies of donor T cells in the setting of acute graft-versus-host disease (GVHD) and on ex vivo expanded host dendritic cells. Using a combination of antibody homing blockade and splenectomy development of acute GVHD was successfully prevented in a murine major mismatch model. The second group of studies focussed on molecular diagnostic strategies for the detection of infectious diseases. Analysis of a collection of granulomatous reactions was performed amplifying the 65-kDa heat-shock protein gene. This enabled detection of mycobacterial DNA in 63% of cases, containing a high fraction of nontuberculous mycobacterial DNA (34%). Sequencing strategies have proven a very helpful tool, especially for subtyping NTM species on paraffin embedded material.

Blood And Marrow Transplantation

The use of hematopoietic stem cell transplantation or blood and marrow transplantation (bmt) is on the increase worldwide. BMT is used to replace damaged or destroyed bone marrow with healthy bone marrow stem cells. Here is the latest research on bone and marrow transplantation.

Cell Migration

Cell migration is involved in a variety of physiological and pathological processes such as embryonic development, cancer metastasis, blood vessel formation and remoulding, tissue regeneration, immune surveillance and inflammation. Here is the latest research.

Allogenic & Autologous Therapies

Allogenic therapies are generated in large batches from unrelated donor tissues such as bone marrow. In contrast, autologous therapies are manufactures as a single lot from the patient being treated. Here is the latest research on allogenic and autologous therapies.
