  2. 11. Requirements for the Induction of Adaptive Immune Responses to Rotavirus

    Author : Joy Nakawesi; Virusrekognition; []
    Keywords : MEDICIN OCH HÄLSOVETENSKAP; MEDICAL AND HEALTH SCIENCES; Rotavirus; classical dendritic cells; Lymphoid organ hypertrophy; B cells; IgA; Retinoic acid; CD8 T cells; TLR3 and Poly I:C ;

    Abstract : Rotavirus (RV) infections remain the leading cause of world-wide diarrhea-associated morbidity and mortality among children 200,000 deaths annually mostly in the low-income countries of Africa and Asia. Efficient clearance of the primary RV infection and protection from future re-infections is mediated by adaptive immune responses. READ MORE

  4. 12. Adaptive Immunity in Cardiovascular Disease

    Author : Daniel Engelbertsen; Kardiovaskulär forskning - immunitet och ateroskleros; []
    Keywords : MEDICIN OCH HÄLSOVETENSKAP; MEDICAL AND HEALTH SCIENCES;

    Abstract : Atherosclerosis, thickening of the major arteries, is a chronic disease leading to cardiovascular disease (CVD) such as myocardial infarction (MI) and stroke, both affecting millions worldwide. T-cells and antibodies have been implicated in atherosclerosis. READ MORE

  5. 13. Adaptive Responses by Transcriptional Regulators to small molecules in Prokaryotes : Structural studies of two bacterial one-component signal transduction systems DntR and HpNikR

    Author : Cyril Dian; Peter Brzezinski; Séan McSweeney; Elisabeth Sauer-Eriksson; Stockholms universitet; []
    Keywords : MEDICIN OCH HÄLSOVETENSKAP; MEDICAL AND HEALTH SCIENCES; transcription regulator; bacterial biosensor; LysR family; Inducer-binding; nickel-sensing; NikR; signal transduction system; Helicobacter pylori; Biochemistry; Biokemi; biokemi; Biochemistry;

    Abstract : Prokaryotes are continually exposed to variations in their environment. Survival in unstable milieu requires a wide range of transcriptional regulators (TRs) that respond to specific environmental and cellular signals by modulating gene expression and provide an appropriate physiological response to external stimuli.

  6. 14. Protein phosphorylation and proteolysis - regulation and adaptive responses in photosynthesis

    Author : Jens Forsberg; Avdelningen för molekylärmedicin och genterapi; []
    Keywords : NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; Växtbiokemi; proteolysis; Plant biochemistry; protease; two-component systems; protein kinase; protein phosphorylation; state transitions; light-harvesting antenna; photosynthesis; chloroplast;

    Abstract : Just as all other organisms, plants adapt to various environmental conditions. This work focuses on the role of chloroplast light harvesting complex II, LHCII, in adaptation of photosynthesis to changed light conditions. READ MORE

  7. 15. Innate and adaptive immune responses in viral and chronic inflammatory diseases

    Author : Danika Schepis; Karolinska Institutet; Karolinska Institutet; []
    Keywords : ;

    Abstract : In this thesis I address some important questions regarding innate and adaptiveimmune responses in different human diseases. We analysed two distinctconditions: chronic autoimmune inflammation, specifically SLE, and chronic viralinfection, represented by herpes simplex virus (HSV). READ MORE
