  2. 1. Cellular receptors for species B adenoviruses

    Author : Marko Marttila; Niklas Arnberg; Göran Wadell; Tomas Bergström; Umeå universitet; []
    Keywords : MEDICIN OCH HÄLSOVETENSKAP; MEDICAL AND HEALTH SCIENCES; Adenovirus; CD46; CD80; CD86; Species B; Receptor; Internalization; Infection; Tropism; Virology; Virologi;

    Abstract : Adenoviruses belong to the most common human pathogens. The severity of infection varies greatly, from subclinical to lethal, depending on the virus type and immune status of the infected host. The 51 known human adenovirus serotypes are divided into six species (A-F) based on characteristics such as tropism. READ MORE

    Abstract : Ceramics are distinguished from metals and polymers by their inorganic nature and lack of metallic properties. They can be highly crystalline to amorphous, and their physical and chemical properties can vary widely. READ MORE

  5. 3. PROTEIN VACCINE AGAINST NEONATAL GROUP B STREPTOCOCCAL INFECTION Immunization experiments in animals and a serological study in humans

    Author : Charlotte U Larsson; Avdelningen för medicinsk mikrobiologi; []
    Keywords : MEDICIN OCH HÄLSOVETENSKAP; MEDICAL AND HEALTH SCIENCES; bakteriologi; mycology; bacteriology; Microbiology; virologi; mykologi; neonatal infection; human antibody; intranasal; vaccine; cholera toxin B subunit; Rib; α; Group B streptococcus; surface protein; Mikrobiologi; virology;

    Abstract : Infection with group B streptococcus (GBS), an encapsulated bacterium, is an important cause of neonatal morbidity and mortality. Capsular polysaccharides and cell surface proteins of GBS are candidate antigens for development of a human GBS vaccine. Proteins have many advantages as vaccine antigens. READ MORE

  6. 4. Innate and adaptive immunity in genital HSV-2 infection: Implications for vaccine development

    Author : Ali M Harandi; Göteborgs universitet; []
    Keywords : genital herpes infection; natural antibody; CD4 T cells; CD8 T cells; IFN-g; IL-12; IL-18; CC chemokines; dendritic cells.;

    Abstract : Herpes simplex virus type 2 (HSV-2) is a sexually transmitted pathogen that infects the genital tract mucosa and is the most common case of genital ulcers in humans. Despite numerous studies, little is known about the mechanisms involved in immune protection and no anti-herpes vaccine has been developed to date. READ MORE

  7. 5. Bacterial genotoxins : an interface between infection and cancer biology

    Author : Laura Levi; Karolinska Institutet; Karolinska Institutet; []
    Keywords : ;

    Abstract : Infections contribute to the development of more than 20% of all malignancies in humans. While strong evidence exists for a number of virus-associated cancers, the role of bacterial infections is still poorly appreciated although there are evidences that link chronic bacterial infections to increased risk of certain tumors.
