  2. 21. Viral proteins as serological antigens - Development and clinical applications

    Author : Linn Persson Berg; Göteborgs universitet; []
    Keywords : MEDICIN OCH HÄLSOVETENSKAP; MEDICAL AND HEALTH SCIENCES; MEDICIN OCH HÄLSOVETENSKAP; MEDICAL AND HEALTH SCIENCES; Serology; ELISA; IgG; Varicella-zoster virus; Epstein-Barr virus; Measles virus; Viral glycoproteins; Multiple sclerosis;

    Abstract : Serological methods are based on the detection of antibodies and antigens in mainly serum but also in other body fluids such as cerebrospinal fluid (CSF). Conventional whole virus antigens are widely used in viral serological assays. READ MORE

  4. 22. Identification and functional characterization of Epstein-Barr virus-encoded deconjugases

    Author : Sebastian Hildebrand; Karolinska Institutet; Karolinska Institutet; []
    Keywords : ;

    Abstract : The post-translational conjugation or deconjugation of proteins by ubiquitin (Ub) or ubiquitin-like molecules (UbLs: e.g. SUMO, NEDD8, ISG15) has emerged as a major regulatory mechanism of various cellular activities. READ MORE

  5. 23. Studies on early cellular responses during Epstein-Barr virus infection

    Author : Xinsong Chen; Karolinska Institutet; Karolinska Institutet; []
    Keywords : ;

    Abstract : The human gamma-herpesvirus Epstein-Barr virus (EBV) has been implicated in the pathogenesis of a broad spectrum of lymphoid and epithelial cell malignancies. A characteristic property of the virus is the capacity to establish a non-productive growthpromoting infection in B-lymphocytes. READ MORE

  6. 24. Remodelling of the cellular environment in Epstein-Barr virus infection

    Author : Simone Callegari; Karolinska Institutet; Karolinska Institutet; []
    Keywords : ;

    Abstract : For successful infection viruses modify the host cell environment by transcriptional, posttranscriptional or post-translational regulation of cellular signaling pathways. In the work described in this thesis bioinformatics analysis coupled with biochemical validations were used to dissect critical features of these viral strategies in the context of infection by Epstein–Barr virus (EBV), a human herpesvirus associated with lymphoid and epithelial cell tumors.

  7. 25. Mapping viruses in non-malignant tonsils, nasal polyps, sinonasal inverted papilloma and laryngeal cancer

    Author : Alexandra Schindele; Katarina Olofsson; Karin Nylander; Annika Allard; Lalle Hammarstedt Nordenvall; Umeå universitet; []
    Keywords : MEDICIN OCH HÄLSOVETENSKAP; MEDICAL AND HEALTH SCIENCES; Human papilloma virus; Epstein-Barr virus; Human cytomegalovirus; Human adenovirus; p16 tumor suppressor protein; Non-malignant tonsillar disease; Chronic rhino sinusitis with nasal polyps; sinonasal inverted papilloma; laryngeal cancer; EBER-ISH; Oto-Rhino-Laryngology; oto-rhino-laryngologi;

    Abstract : Background: The upper respiratory tract is exposed to viruses, which can lead to infection and cancer development. We chose to study common and/or chronic diseases along with common and cancer related viruses in the upper airway. READ MORE
