The primary objective is to evaluate whether 2.5 µg VD3 analogue (Zemplar® * Abbvie) in multiple subcutaneously administered doses induces a more favourable (read: anti-inflammatory) systemic immune modulation both in general parameters and allergen…
Primary Objective:Pilot study: Selection of the titanium derivatives which are capable of penetrating the skin, and thus can be used in the full study as patch test materials.Full study: To compare the results of three different diagnostic tests…
Are Alphabodies against IL23 effecive in the transplant model of psoriasis
The specific aim of the project is to determine the efficacy of Spherical Nucleic Acids (SNAs) on psoriasis skin biopsy gene expression in vitro.
Primary Objective: Identification of rare variants in candidate genes and regulatory elements in pediatric IBD patients. Secondary Objective(s): To determine the functional consequences of identified genetic variants in IBD, we will correlate…
(1) To determine the frequency of antibody-mediated encephalopathy in children with seizure-related or (sub)acute onset neuropsychiatric disorders. (2) To identify the target auto-antigens of selected seizure-related and (sub)acute onset…
Primary objective: To identify specific bacteria or a characteristic bacterial composition in the oral and gut microbiome of pSS patients compared to non-Sjögren*s syndrome sicca (non-SS sicca) patients, SLE patients and healthy controls.Secondary…
The primary objective is to investigate quality of life after switch to a combination therapy including boosted DRV and DTG. Secondary objectives are to investigate 1) the residual viral replication, 2) level of virus production from infected cells…
Primary Objective: to study the differences in CD4+ T cell subsets (Th1/Th2/Th17/Tregulatory/Tsenescent) between GCA patients and healthy controls at diagnosis and during follow up and in remission. Secondary Objective(s): - To characterize the cell…
(1) To determine frequency of antibody-mediated encephalopathy in adults with new-onset epilepsy/status epilepticus or chronic epilepsy. (2) To assess outcome of antibody-mediated encephalopathy in adults with epilepsy, and identify markers for good…
The primary aim of the current proposal is to get a better understanding of how CeD risk genes contribute to disease aetiology. To achieve this, we will apply a holistic approach in which we will study the behaviour of immune cells and the…
Primary: to investigate the most importants determinants of the viral dynamics of low-level viremia. Secondary: to investigate the effects on immune activation, neurocognitive performance and periodontal status.
Does humoral and/or cellular rejection play a role in recurrent miscarriage of unknown etiology?Can biomarkers of humoral and/or cellular rejection be used for the detection of patients who are likely to suffer a miscarriage in a next pregnancy?
Primary Objective: To gain more insight in the genetic susceptibility for AIH. For this we will study the presence of candidate genes in AIH patients, study genetic similarities with other auto-immune diseases and perform a whole genome association…
The primary objective of CDfuture is to provide duodenal biopsies of patients with and without CD, and venous blood samples, to continue CD research as described above.
Primary Objective: 1. Determine if assessment of mucosal and serological immunological characteristics in combination with clinical indicators of disease behaviour and response to therapy can identify immune-based phenotypes with implications for…
De lnternational CIDP Outcome Study (ICOS) aims to describe in detail the variation in clinical and electrophysiological subtypes, current practice of treatment, clinical course and outcom in CIDP. The second objective is to define the clinical and…
In this study we aim to gain more insights into immune reconstitution of various leukocyte populations after SCT. By application of heavy water labeling we investigate if and how the production- and death rate of leukocytes changes after an SCT.
1) To investigate IFN type I signature as an early biomarker for progression to SLE. 2) To establish effects of increased innate immune system activation on adaptive immune system, in particular on B-cells. 3) To establish IFN type I activation as…
The objective of the current study is to obtain normative data of healthy individuals on brain measures, cognition and blood markers. In addition, we acquire information on childhood trauma, metabolic and immunological parameters in a cohort of…
