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…
Objective of the study is to evaluate efficacy of VZV vaccination in lung transplantation patients, intended to prevent morbidity by VZV infection. Efficacy of vaccination will be measured by means of determining cellular immunity to VZV. Cellular…
Primary objective:To determine whether endotoxin tolerance can be prevented by acetylsalicylic acid prophylaxis or can be reversed by acetylsalicylic acid treatment, expressed as an augmentation of pro-inflammatory cytokine levels during the second…
A previous study of from our laboratory showed that administration of the drug C1-INH (100E/kg) significantly reduced the concentration of circulating pro-inflammatory cytokines, such as IL-6, in healthy male volunteers during human experimental…
To examine the effect of BCG as an adjuvant on DTP vaccination, and to investigate the non-specific training effects of BCG and DTP, alone and in combination, on the innate immune system.
Determine whether the prevalence of allergic sensitilization, defined as at least one allergen specific IgE with a concentration of >= 0,35 kU/l, is lower in people with than without DS. Analyse whether this prevalene is depending on age, how…
Primary Objective - To determine if afamelanotide can reduce the severity of PLE related pruritis.Secondary Objectives- To determine if afamelanotide can reduce the frequency of PLE episodes;- To determine if afamelanotide can reduce the duration of…
- Primary objective: The effect of C1-INH prior to induction of a systemic inflammation by endotoxin (E. coli lipopolysaccharide), on the leukocyte phenotype, activation and mobilization. - Secondary objectives: - Determine the effect of C1-…
The objective of the study is to evaluate the safety and efficacy of eculizumab to prevent AMR in sensitized recipients of living donor kidney transplants requiring desensitization therapy.
1: Elucidation of the factors that cause the complement deficiency in pediatric oncology patients. First, we will characterize the inhibitor of MASP-2 activity in patients during chemotherapy. 2: Identification of the complement component(s) causing…
Our objective is to assess whether patients with SM compared to controls have more advanced atherosclerosis assessed by carotid intima-media thickness (C-IMT) and carotid plaques and have a more adverse cardiovascular risk profile.
Has the supplementation of oligosaccharides in the first year of life an effect on the incidence of atopic diseases and infections from the 5th until the 7th year of life in healthy children
Objective: To analyze in more detail the complement activation and regulation and especially the functional CFH activity following three types of interventions in patients known with HUS and correlate these to clinical findings. The three…
To protect children with hiv and children using immune-suppressive medication against hepatitis A and B, and to determine the immunogenicity of the combined hepatitis A and B vaccine in these children.
The primary objective is to investigate the effects of intravenous administration of C1INH in human volunteers on cytokine release (TNFa) during endotoxemia. The secondary objective is to determine the effect of administration of C1 INH on…
The primary objective of this study is to evaluate the effect of colostrum supplementation on the immune response after intense strenuous exercise.The secondary objective is to study the effect of intense strenuous exercise - and its possible…
Our purpose is to establish whether the frequently observed absence of tumor regression in the presence of infiltrating T lymphocytes is due to a lack of T cell effector function or due to an inhibitory influence of the tumor microenvironment on T…
Overall aim: To study the influence of M.leprae antigens on differentiation and maturation of DCs and to identify M.leprae antigens, receptors on antigen presenting cells and signaling pathways which play a role in leprosy pathology. Main objective…
