  2. 11. New Bioanalytical Approaches, Magneto Immunoassays and SIRE Technology Based Biosensors

    Author : Kirstin Kriz; Tillämpad biokemi; []
    Keywords : NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; Biochemical technology; Biokemisk teknik; antigens; superparamagnetic nanoparticles; magnetic inductance transducer; competitive magneto immunoassay; enzymes; metabolites; differential measurements; SIRE; biosensor;

    Abstract : This thesis presents two new technologies, SIRE technology based biosensors and magneto immunoassays, which can be used for bioanalytical applications. One of the main problems associated with biosensor technology is the instability of the recognition element since it is of biological origin and thus, has a limited lifetime. READ MORE

  4. 12. Dynamic Systems for Screening, Control and Identification of Protein-Ligand Interactions

    Author : Rikard Larsson; Olof Ramström; Michel R. Gagné; KTH; []
    Keywords : NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; Dynamic combinatorial chemistry; Dynamic kinetic combinatorial resolution; Catalytic screening; Transthiolesterification; Thiol disulfide interchange; Nitroaldol reaction; Lectins; Hydrolases; Dynamic self-inhibition; Organic chemistry; Organisk kemi;

    Abstract : Dynamic systems for screening, control and identification of different protein-ligand interactions are presented. Dynamic chemistry is used to produce new compounds/constituents in situ that can interact with a target molecule. Several entities can be introduced at the same time and interact with one another.

  5. 13. Bacteria-agglutinating glycoproteins in human saliva : an in vitro study with special reference to Streptococcus mutans

    Author : Jan Rundegren; Umeå universitet; []
    Keywords : agglutinin; glycoprotein; saliva; streptococcus mutans;

    Abstract : The activity and specificity of salivary glycoproteins (agglutinins) aggregating various human indigenous microorganisms were studied in vitro. The agglutinin reacting with a serotype c strain of Streptococcus mutans was isolated and chemically characterized.The results can be summarized as follows:1. READ MORE

  6. 14. Surface Modification of Cellulose-based Materials for Tailoring of Interfacial Interactions

    Author : Simon Utsel; Lars Wågberg; Simon Biggs; KTH; []
    Keywords : NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES;

    Abstract : The awareness of our need for a sustainable society has encouraged the search for renewable, high quality materials that can replace oil-based products. This, in combination with increased competition in the forest industry, has stimulated a lot of research into different types of wood-based materials where cellulose-rich fibers are combined with different types of polymers.

  7. 15. Exploration of Conditions Affecting Cytokine Production in Experimental Type 1 Diabetes Mellitus

    Author : Lina Thorvaldson; Stellan Sandler; Michael Welsh; Maria Holstad; Maria Faresjö; Uppsala universitet; []
    Keywords : Cell biology; Cytokine; Diabetes; Tumor necrosis factor-α; Interferon-γ; Interleukin-4; Interleukin-10; Transplantation; Pancreatic islet; Glucose; Regulatory T cell; Cellbiologi;

    Abstract : Cytokines are soluble signalling mediators within the immune system, and have been shown to be of importance in the development of type 1 diabetes (T1D). This thesis studied the production of cytokines in experimental models of T1D and during transplantation of insulin-producing islets of Langerhans. READ MORE
