Acknowledgments
Iwould like to thank my promoter Prof. Dr. Claude P. Muller for offering me to join
his team at the Department of Immunology, Laboratoire National de Santé,
Luxembourg (LNS-DI), for his persistent and genuine scientific guidance and for his
continuous confidence. I also wish to thank Ulla Muller for the professional and
cheerful assistance in many non-scientific purposes.

I want to thank my promoter Prof. Dr. Günther Jung, Institut für Organische Chemie,
Universität Tübingen, Germany, for his sincere interest and enthusiasm for the project
and for his precious inputs and critics, despite the distance between Tübingen and
Luxembourg. I would like to thank PD Dr. Karl-Heinz Wiesmüller for his valuable
advices and help and for the exciting scientific and non-scientific activities during the
annual Oberjoch seminars.

I would like to thank Dr. Johan Hoebeke, Institut de Biologie Moléculaire et
Cellulaire, Strasbourg, France for his invaluable expertise and extensive teaching
during the BIACORE and molecular modeling experiments.

I want to thank Dr. Isabelle Kolber and Dr. Serge Schneider, Division de Toxicologie,
Laboratoire National de Santé, Luxembourg for their unconditioned support with
mass spectrometry facilities.

I would like to thank the director of the Laboratoire National de Santé, Dr. François
Schneider for giving me the opportunity to use the facilities at the LNS-DI. Financial
support from the Centre de Recherche Public-Santé, the Fonds National de Recherche,
the European Union project BIO4-CT98-0242, the Ministère de la Culture, de
l’Enseignement Supérieur et de la Recherche is also gratefully acknowledged.
