  2. 1. Staphylococcal surface display in directed evolution

    Author : Nina Kronqvist; Stefan Ståhl; Mats A. A. Persson; KTH; []
    Keywords : TEKNIK OCH TEKNOLOGIER; ENGINEERING AND TECHNOLOGY; affibody; combinatorial library; directed evoluation; Gram-positive bacteria. protein engineering; Bioengineering; Bioteknik;

    Abstract : Engineered affinity proteins have together with naturally derived antibodies becomeindispensable tools in many areas of life-science and with the increasing number ofapplications, the need for high-throughput methods for generation of such different affinityproteins is evident. Today, combinatorial protein engineering is the most successful strategy toisolate novel non-immunoglobulin affinity proteins. READ MORE

    Author : Charlotte A Jonsson; Göteborgs universitet; []
    Keywords : SLE; Mycophenolate mofetil; MRLlpr lpr mice; cytokine; autoantibody;

    Abstract : Systemic lupus erythematosus (SLE) is an autoimmune disease that mainly affects women. The effect of the immune modulating drug mycophenolate mofetil (MMF) on experimental SLE was investigated. READ MORE

  5. 3. Mechanisms of dendritic cell maturation induced by intracellular bacteria infection

    Author : Miguel A. Tam; Göteborgs universitet; []
    Keywords : Listeria; Salmonella; dendritic cells; maturation; MyD88; IFN-? ?;

    Abstract : Dendritic cells (DCs) are essential for the development of an immune response against pathogens such as Listeria monocytogenes and Salmonella typhimurium. This is mostly because of their unique capacity to stimulate naïve T cells. READ MORE

    Abstract : Porphyromonas gingivalis is a gram-negative, rod-shaped, and anaerobic bacterium that is involved in the pathogenesis of periodontitis. P. gingivalis produces a variety of virulence factors including gingipains and fimbriae. READ MORE

  7. 5. Cannabinoids as neuroprotective agents : a mechanistic study

    Author : Olov Nilsson; Christopher Fowler; Edward Högestätt; Umeå universitet; []

    Abstract : Glucose and oxygen supply to the brain is critical for its proper function and when it is restricted as during a stroke, neurons and glial cells quickly become necrotic leading to structural damage as well as functional impairment and even death. To date there are few effective therapies that inhibit the neurodegenerative process and improves the outcome for the affected individual. READ MORE
