About me
- I am a Professor in clinical Microbiology, with a broad background in tuberculosis research, specifically in diagnostics and vaccine development. I graduated as a medical doctor from Uppsala University 1970, and received a Ph.D. at Karolinska Institutet 1981, After clinical work in paediatrics and infectious diseases in Uppsala and Stockholm I held a postdoc position at the Swedish Medical Research Council 1982-84. Between 1985 and 2009 I worked at the Swedish Institute for Infectious Disease Control.
Research
- My early publications dealt with the pathogenesis of urinary tract infections caused by E.coli. I was first to show that E.coli isolated from patients with acute pyelonephritis bound to uroepithelial cells in a manner that strongly correlated with their binding to human erythrocytes and that the binding to erythrocytes was dependent on the presence of P blood group antigens on the surface of the erythrocytes. I, with co-workers, was also first to identify the molecular structure of the human receptor active structure (-D-Galp-(1-4)--D-Galp) on erythrocytes and human uroepithelial cells. This binding was mediated by fimbriae on E. coli, which made us name them P-fimbriae. We found that most E.coli strains causing pyelonephritis in children and adults possessed P fimbriae. In collaboration with James Roberts, Tulane University, we showed that P-fimbriated E.coli can cause pyelonephritis in the non-human primate, with a disease course very similar to the disease in man, and that the infection could be prevented by a soluble receptor analogue, concluding that P-fimbriae are an important virulence factor in the initiation of pyelonephritis.

In the 1980s I turned my research interest to tuberculosis, an underexplored research area at that time. Together with Stefan Svenson we used our knowledge of microbial glycolipids to explore the role of the Mycobacterium tuberculosis (M.tb) glycolipid lipoarabinomannan (LAM) in the diagnosis and prevention of tuberculosis. We developed monoclonal antibodies to LAM to show for the first time that tuberculosis could be diagnosed by detection of LAM in urine. These studies have laid the groundwork for the development of commercial tests for tuberculosis based on the detection of LAM in urine. So far these test have low sensitivity, and I am still working on the advancement of new technologies to reach the sensitivity needed.

Stefan Svenson and I also used our knowledge of mycobacterial glycoconjugates to study the role of LAM in the prevention of tuberculosis. We constructed a series of monoclonal antibodies, and published the very first paper on a monoclonal antibody against LAM that protected against experimental Mtb infection. We also developed lipoarabinomannan specific oligosaccharide-protein conjugates that resulted in the very first paper on the construction and protective effect of an arabinomannan (AM)-protein conjugate vaccine candidate against tuberculosis. The last decades the main interest in, and funding of, the development of tuberculosis vaccine candidates has been dominated by either protein/peptide based candidates or live vaccines. However more recently there is a renewed interest in the potential role of carbohydrate conjugates in vaccine development, and my present research connects to this.

My interest in One Health has resulted in long term collaborations with colleagues in Sub-Saharan Africa. The research has been focused on the molecular epidemiology of human and bovine TB, caused by M.tb and Mycobacterium bovis (M.bovis) respectively. In large collaborative studies we have identified particular lineages of Mtb and M. bovis that are spread in Africa. With colleagues and students in Mozambique I have explored the zoonotic aspects of TB. We have identified a district (Govuro) where the prevalence of bovine TB is extremely high, with about 40% of cattle infected, and in individual herds up to 70% . Here we are exploring the mechanisms of transmission of M. bovis to humans, and the innate and adaptive immune responses that are elicited upon continuous exposure to M. bovis upon drinking infected milk or handling infected cattle carcasses.

5. More recently my interest in host-pathogen interactions made me explore latent tuberculosis (defined by WHO as a state of persistent immune response to stimulation by Mtb antigens without evidence of clinically manifested active TB) in relation to Mtb glycolipids. We had previously observed that LAM, and its related glycolipids, induce divergent and opposing immune responses on monocytes and dendritic cells. Now we found that myeloid cells in Mtb-immunoreactive individuals respond with a dampened cytokine response following stimulation with the Mtb glycolipids LAM and its precursor, phosphatidyl-myo-inositol mannoside (PIM). This observation suggests that innate hyporesponsiveness, or tolerance, to glycolipids could be an important mechanism of how Mtb-immunoreactive individuals are protected from disease. These studies give the rationale for my present research where I will explore in depth the mechanisms of tolerance to the glycolipids LAM and PIM and explore how this correlates with Mtb control.
