  2. 1. MHC and Transgenic Mice. A study into polymorphism and function of class I and class II molecules

    Author : Mikael Vestberg; Immunologi; []
    Keywords : MEDICIN OCH HÄLSOVETENSKAP; MEDICAL AND HEALTH SCIENCES; MHC rat mouse transgenic autoimmunity collagen peptide; Clinical biology; Klinisk biologi;

    Abstract : Transplantation antigens encoded in the major histocompatibility complex (MHC) bind peptides and present them to T cells. We showed that mouse T cells expressing transgenic human CD8 can recognise human MHC class I. READ MORE

  4. 2. Binding of plasma proteins by Staphylococcus epidermidis: characterisation of protein-protein interactions

    Author : Dai-Qing Li; Diabetes - öpatofysiologi; []
    Keywords : MEDICIN OCH HÄLSOVETENSKAP; MEDICAL AND HEALTH SCIENCES; Microbiology; mice and immunisation; biomaterial-associated infections; von Willebrand factor; thrombospondin; clusterin; Staphylococcal receptins; vitronectin; bacteriology; virology; mycology; Mikrobiologi; bakteriologi; virologi; mykologi;

    Abstract : Coagulase-negative staphylococci (CoNS), in particular, Staphylococcus epidermidis, have emerged as major nosocomial pathogens associated with infections of implanted medical devices. These organisms, which are among the most prevalent bacteria of the human skin and mucous membrane microflora, gain access to the surface of the implant at the insertion. READ MORE

  5. 3. Characterisation of the conserved Helicobacter pyloriproteins AhpC and HpaA

    Author : Anneli Maria Lundström; Göteborgs universitet; []
    Keywords : MEDICIN OCH HÄLSOVETENSKAP; MEDICAL AND HEALTH SCIENCES;

    Abstract : Background: Infection with Helicobacter pylori gives rise to gastritis and may cause duodenal and gastric ulcers and gastric carcinoma in humans. The infection may induce an immune response against different antigens, among them a 26 kDa protein (AhpC) and a 29 kDa protein (HpaA). Aims: The aims were to characterise the 26 kDa and 29 kDa H.

  6. 4. Group B streptococcus capsular polysaccharide - Cholera toxin B subunit conjugate vaccine for mucosal immunisation : development and preclinical evaluation of experimental conjugate vaccines

    Author : Xuzhuang Shen; Göteborgs universitet; []
    Keywords : MEDICIN OCH HÄLSOVETENSKAP; MEDICAL AND HEALTH SCIENCES; MEDICIN OCH HÄLSOVETENSKAP; MEDICAL AND HEALTH SCIENCES;

    Abstract : Group B streptococci (GBS) can colonize the female genital and rectal tracts and cause invasive infection in susceptible newborns. An optimally effective GBS vaccine should induce both mucosal and systemic immunity. READ MORE

  7. 5. Starch Microparticles as an Oral Vaccine Adjuvant with Emphasis on the Differentiation of the Immune Response

    Author : Linda Stertman; Ingvar Sjöholm; Kjell-Olov Grönvik; Uppsala universitet; []
    Keywords : MEDICIN OCH HÄLSOVETENSKAP; MEDICAL AND HEALTH SCIENCES; Pharmaceutics; Vaccine adjuvant; Microparticles; Oral immunisation; Th1 Th2 differentiation; Mucosal immune response; Uptake; M cell; Galenisk farmaci; Pharmaceutics; Galenisk farmaci;

    Abstract : Polyacryl starch microparticles have been developed as an oral vaccine adjuvant capable of inducing strong local and systemic immune responses in mice. In this thesis, the starch microparticles were studied in order to increase basic understanding of their function. READ MORE
