  2. 1. Bacterial antibody hydrolyzing enzymes – as bacterial virulence factors and biotechnological tools

    Author : Eleni Bratanis; Infektionsmedicin; []
    Keywords : MEDICIN OCH HÄLSOVETENSKAP; MEDICAL AND HEALTH SCIENCES; MEDICIN OCH HÄLSOVETENSKAP; MEDICAL AND HEALTH SCIENCES; MEDICIN OCH HÄLSOVETENSKAP; MEDICAL AND HEALTH SCIENCES; MEDICIN OCH HÄLSOVETENSKAP; MEDICAL AND HEALTH SCIENCES; Immunoglobulins; Immunomodulation; Antibody mediated immunity; Glycosylation; Bacterial virulence; Bacterial enzymes; Biotechnology; streptococcus pyogenes; Bdellovibrio bacteriovorus;

    Abstract : Antibodies are an essential part of the human immune system, and antibody mediated immunity has been an area of interest for many researchers for almost a century. An accumulation of knowledge regarding antibody structure, glycosylation and receptor interactions has contributed to the current understanding of antibody mediated immunity. READ MORE

  4. 2. Discordant Neural Xenografting: Analysis and Modulation of Immune Responses

    Author : Lena Cecilia Larsson; Neurobiologi; []
    Keywords : MEDICIN OCH HÄLSOVETENSKAP; MEDICAL AND HEALTH SCIENCES; neuropsykologi; Neurologi; neurofysiologi; neurophysiology; neuropsychology; Neurology; immunosuppression; immunology; xenograft; pig; Parkinson s disease; intracerebral transplantation;

    Abstract : Transplantation of embryonic human neural tissue can restore function in patients with Parkinson’s disease, but there is a severe shortage of donor tissue which limits the applicability of the technique. Embryonic neural tissue from other species, xenogeneic tissue, would provide a readily accessible donor tissue with the potential to help patients if the immunological reactions in the host could be prevented.

  5. 3. Functional studies on the interaction of immunoglobulins with HIV-2 envelope

    Author : Samer Sourial; Karolinska Institutet; Karolinska Institutet; []
    Keywords : HIV; Glycoprotein; Antibodies lgA IgG; V3; CD4; Neutralization; Immunization;

    Abstract : Infection with HIV-2 has a much more limited geographic distribution than HIV-1, being less readily transmitted and is generally less pathogenic. The role of immunoglobulins in defence against pathogens in different body compartments is known, where IgG is the principal isotype in the blood and extracellular fluid while lgA predominates in the mucosal compartment.

  6. 4. Analysis of the molecular interplay between Streptococcus pyogenes and its human host

    Author : Björn Johansson; Infektionsmedicin; []
    Keywords : MEDICIN OCH HÄLSOVETENSKAP; MEDICAL AND HEALTH SCIENCES; Microbiology; bacteriology; virology; mycology; Biomedicinska vetenskaper allmänt ; Regulation; General biomedical sciences; IdeS; Enzyme; Virulence factors; Virulence; Bacteria; Streptococci; bakteriologi; virologi; mykologi; GAS; Protein; Mikrobiologi;

    Abstract : The common human pathogen Streptococcus pyogenes is the causative agent of numerous mild and severe clinical conditions. It expresses a number of secreted or cell wall-anchored proteins that modulate the human immune system and facilitate colonization and spread of the pathogen in the human host. During S. READ MORE

  7. 5. Combinatorial Methodology. Screening for affinity specific ligands to biological and artificial receptors

    Author : Margareta Krook; Tillämpad biokemi; []
    Keywords : NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; peptide library; combinatorial; screening; phage display; affinity; DNA-interaction; chymotrypsin; peptide inhibitor; antibody; IgG; Fc; molecular imprinting; steroid; receptor; Biochemistry; Metabolism; Biokemi; Biotechnology; Bioteknik;

    Abstract : Combinatorial screening methodology has been employed to select new affinity specific ligands to bilogical and artificial receptors. The screening methodology, in particular screening of combinatorial phage display peptide libraries against target molecules differing in function and shape, is focused upon. READ MORE
