  4. 2. Plant-produced STI vaccine antigens with special emphasis on HIV-1 p24

    Author : Ingrid Lindh; Åke Strid; Sören Andersson; Edward Rybicki; Örebro universitet; []
    Keywords : NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; Plant-based vaccines; Arabidopsis thaliana; HIV-1; p24; GALT; mucosal immunity; Chlamydia trachomatis; MOMP; Daucus carota; Chemistry; Kemi; Chemistry; Kemi;

    Abstract : Objective: To establish stable transgenic non-toxic plants as a platform for plant-based vaccine production as well as potential oral delivery system of vaccine antigens for sexually transmitted infections (STIs). The concept is to immunize the mucosal immune system present in the gut-associated lymphoid tissues (GALT). READ MORE

  5. 3. EFFECTOR T CELL HOMING TO THE SMALL INTESTINAL MUCOSA

    Author : Hanna Stenstad; Immunologi; []
    Keywords : MEDICIN OCH HÄLSOVETENSKAP; MEDICAL AND HEALTH SCIENCES; transplantation; Immunologi; Immunology; serology; homing; intestine; GALT; chemokine receptor; lymphocyte; serologi;

    Abstract : The intestinal mucosa, including the intestinal epithelium and underlying lamina propria (LP), contains a large number of effector/memory T cells that are thought to play a central role in the generation and maintenance of mucosal immune responses and in maintaining mucosal integrity. The work in this thesis investigates the mechanisms regulating effector T cell recruitment to the small intestinal mucosa focusing on the role of chemokine receptors in this process. READ MORE

  6. 4. Biochemical studies of carbohydrate blood group antigens - Carbohydrate phenotype in relation to cellular glycosyltranferases

    Author : Mette Diswall; Göteborgs universitet; []
    Keywords : glycosphingolipid; glycosyltransferase; genetic modification; carbohydrate; mass spectrometry; proton NMR spectroscopy; xenotransplantation; GalT-KO pig;

    Abstract : The possibility to alter the cell surface carbohydrate expression by insertion or deletion of glycosyltransferase genes is a powerful technique to study the biological function of selected carbohydrate antigens. However, shifting the equilibrium between competing glycosyltransferases might lead to unexpected phenotypic effects, such as accumulation of other carbohydrate antigens and exposure of antigen structures that normally are cryptic or present in minute amounts on the cell surface.

  7. 5. Neonatal screening in Sweden and disease-causing variants in phenylketonuria, galactosaemia and biotinidase deficiency

    Author : Annika Ohlsson; Karolinska Institutet; Karolinska Institutet; []
    Keywords : ;

    Abstract : Phenylketonuria, galactosaemia and biotinidase deficiency were the first three inborn errors of metabolism to be included in the Swedish programme. This thesis describes these conditions with an emphasis on screening performance and disease-causing genetic variants in the patients. READ MORE
