  2. 1. Host-Virus Interactions in Asthma and COPD

    Author : Cristopher McCrae; Göteborgs universitet; []
    Keywords : MEDICIN OCH HÄLSOVETENSKAP; MEDICAL AND HEALTH SCIENCES; Asthma; COPD; Exacerbation; Virus; Interferon;

    Abstract : Asthma and chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD) are associated with periods of worsened symptoms, known as exacerbations. Severe exac-erbations can result in hospitalisation, irreversible decline of the disease and sometimes death. Thus, exacerbations are a major cause of morbidity, mortality and healthcare cost.

  4. 2. Exploration of analytical methods to study motif-mediated host-virus protein-protein interactions

    Author : Eszter Kassa; Ylva Ivarsson; Gilles Travé; Uppsala universitet; []
    Keywords : NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; protein-protein interaction; short linear motif; affinity purification-mass spectrometry; virus; SARS-CoV-2; TBEV; Analytical Chemistry; Analytisk kemi;

    Abstract : Proteins are responsible for countless processes in living creatures, but most often they do not perform these tasks alone. Rather, they engage in interactions with other proteins, creating whole protein-protein interaction (PPI) networks. READ MORE

  5. 3. Global Profiling of Host Cell Gene Expression During Adenovirus Infection

    Author : Fredrik Granberg; Hongxing Zhao; Ulf Pettersson; Richard Roberts; Uppsala universitet; []
    Keywords : Genetic engineering; Adenovirus; Microarray; Gene expression; Host-virus interaction; Genteknik;

    Abstract : To investigate mechanisms involved in virus-host interactions, global changes in host gene expression were examined during infection with adenovirus type 2 (Ad2) using cDNA microarray technology. In paper I and II, transcriptional changes in HeLa cells were investigated during the early and late phase of infection, respectively. READ MORE

  6. 4. Analysis of PDGF receptor internalization and signaling using proximity ligation assays

    Author : Marie Rubin Sander; Ola Söderberg; Cristina Al-Khalili Szigyarto; Uppsala universitet; []
    Keywords : MEDICIN OCH HÄLSOVETENSKAP; MEDICAL AND HEALTH SCIENCES; PDGFRβ; dynamin; proteolytic cleavage; signaling; internalization; protein-protein interaction; short linear motif; viral hijack; in situ PLA; Molboolean;

    Abstract : Cell signaling is mediated by signaling proteins that relay the signal in an intricate network of interactions before the signal is translated into a biological response. Short linear motifs (SLiMs) in intrinsically disordered regions of proteins serve as docking sites for protein interaction in all aspects of cell regulation including signal transduction. READ MORE

  7. 5. Viruses on the wing : evolution and dynamics of influenza A virus in the Mallard reservoir

    Author : Michelle Wille; Jonas Waldenström; Timm Harder; Linnéuniversitetet; []
    Keywords : NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; Co-infections; Ecology; Epidemiology; Evolution; Host-Parasite Interactions; Immunity; Influenza A Virus; Mallard; Phylogeny; Virology; Waterfowl; Wild Birds; Wildlife Disease; Zoonotisk ekologi; Zoonotic Ecology;

    Abstract : This thesis explores the evolution of avian influenza A viruses (IAV), as well as host-pathogen interactions between these viruses and their main reservoir host, the Mallard (Anas platyrhynchos). IAV is a genetically diverse, multi-host virus and wild birds, particularly dabbling ducks, are the natural reservoir. READ MORE
