1. Unique Solutions to Universal Problems : Studies of the Archaeal Cell
Abstract : Archaea is one of the three domains of life and studies of archaeal biology are important for understanding of life in extreme environments, fundamental biogeochemical processes, the origin of life, the eukaryotic cell and their own, unique biology. This thesis presents four studies of the archaeal cell, using the extremophilic Sulfolobus and ocean living Nitrosopumilus as model systems. READ MORE

2. Ultrasonic Fluid and Cell Manipulation
Abstract : During the last decade, ultrasonic manipulation has matured into an important tool with a wide range of applications, from fundamental cell biological research to clinical and industrial implementations. The contactless nature of ultrasound makes it possible to manipulate living cells in a gentle way, e.g. READ MORE

3. Virus mediated induction of antibody independent cytotoxicity (VDCC) and enhancement of antibody dependent cytotoxicity (ADCC) in human lymphocytes in vitro
Abstract : Addition in vitro of small amounts of paramyxoviruses (Mumps or Sendai) to lymphocytes from healthy human donors induces a strong and non-selective cytotoxicity against a variety of target cells (VDCC, virus dependent cellular cytotoxicity). VDCC-like reactions are believed to play a role in vivo in the defense against virus infection and/or the causation of the tissue lesions associated with virus disease. READ MORE

5. Studies of pore-forming bacterial protein toxins in Escherichia coli
Abstract : Escherichia coli, a Gram-negative bacterium, which can be classified into three groups: the commensal, intestinal pathogenic (IPEC) and extra-intestinal pathogenic (ExPEC) E. coli. The cytolysin A (ClyA) protein, a 34-kDa pore-forming toxin, encoded by a gene found in both non-pathogenic and pathogenic E. READ MORE
