      Purpose: We investigated the association between self-rated health (SRH) and cancer incidence and SRH and all-cause mortality among Norwegian women.<p> <p>Population and Methods: We used data from 110,104 women in the Norwegian Women and Cancer (NOWAC) cohort aged 41– 70 years at baseline. We used flexible parametric survival analysis with restricted cubic splines to calculate hazard ratios (HRs) ...
    • Development of new tissue culture protocols for enrichment of CD4 T cells associated with neonatal alloimmune thrombocytopenia 

      Killie, Ida Løken (Master thesis; Mastergradsoppgave, 2010-11-15)
      Neonatal alloimmune thrombocytopenia (NAIT) is most commonly caused by destruction of foetal platelets by maternal antibodies reactive to human platelet antigen (HPA)-1a. The activation of antigen-primed B cells to differentiate to antibody-secreting plasma cells usually requires help from CD4 T cells. The strong association between anti-HPA-1a-production and the MHC allele HLA-DRB3*0101 supports ...
