  2. 6. Characterization of the cellular receptor for coxsackievirus and adenovirus

    Author : Momina Mirza; Karolinska Institutet; Karolinska Institutet; []
    Keywords : ;

    Abstract : CAR, the cellular receptor for coxsackievirus and adenovirus, was discovered in 1997. CAR is an evolutionary conserved transmembrane protein that belongs to the CTX subfamily within the large immunoglobulin superfamily. At the intracellular tail, CAR has a PDZ domain binding motif suggesting that CAR is part of a larger protein complex. READ MORE

  4. 7. Infection, early entry events and replication processes of picornaviruses

    Author : Helena Vandesande; A. Michael Lindberg; Jorma Hinkula; Linnéuniversitetet; []
    Keywords : NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; Picornavirus; enterovirus; cardiovirus; echovirus; rhinovirus; coxsackievirus B; Saffold virus; early entry; replication; gastroenteritis; aseptic meningitis.; Virology; Virologi;

    Abstract : The Picornaviridae is a large and diverse family of small RNA viruses, several of which have exhibited a distinct clinical and socioeconomic impact on human society. While many infections are asymptomatic, some members of this virus family have the potential to cause severe disease, including, but not limited to, poliomyelitis, myocarditis, meningitis, and foot-and-mouth disease.

  5. 8. Host-microbe interactions in coxsackievirus infection : focus on innate immunity

    Author : Michael Hühn; Karolinska Institutet; Karolinska Institutet; []
    Keywords : ;

    Abstract : Coxsackievirus group B (CVB) is a common virus that usually causes only mild symptoms in humans. However, occasionally these infections result in severe diseases like meningitis, myocarditis and pancreatitis. READ MORE

  6. 9. Interactions between the environmental pollutant 2,3,7,8- tetrachlorodibenzo-p-dioxin and coxsackievirus infection : Experimental studies in mice

    Author : Eva Funseth; Uppsala universitet; []
    Keywords : Medical sciences; MEDICIN OCH VÅRD; MEDICINE; MEDICIN; infektionssjukdomar; Infectious Diseases;

    Abstract : This thesis focuses on the interactions between 2,3,7,8-tetrachlorodibenzo-p-dioxin (TCDD) and infection. A model of human coxsackievirus type B3 (CB3) infection, adapted to A/J mice, was used.The effects on some immune cell populations and host resistance to CB3 infection were studied immediately after TCDD exposure and 3 months later.
