  2. 1. Aspects of interferon alpha signalling in hematopoetic cells

    Author : Lennart Carlsson; erik lundgren; Ulrich Kalinke; Umeå universitet; []
    Keywords : NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; Molecular biology; interferon; human; B-lymphocyte; survival; proliferation; myeloma; Molekylärbiologi; Molecular biology; Molekylärbiologi; molekylärbiologi; Molecular Biology;

    Abstract : The type I interferons (IFN) are a family of cytokines with pleiothropic activities that include inhibition of viral replication, cell proliferation and activation of the immune system. These properties give the IFNs important physiological and pathological roles in infection and cancer and have led to their therapeutic use for many clinical conditions. READ MORE

  4. 2. Multiple Sclerosis: Studies of the Interferon system and search for infectious agents

    Abstract : Multiple sclerosis (MS) is a chronic disease of the central nervous system, characterized by focal inflammatory lesions with demyelination and axonal loss. It is believed that MS is an immune-mediated disorder with both genetic and environmental contributions to the pathogenesis. READ MORE

    Abstract : Hepatitis C is a blood-borne infection caused by the hepatitis C virus (HCV). A chronic infection, which develops in most infected subjects, may lead to liver cirrhosis with ensuing liver dysfunction and liver cancer. READ MORE

  6. 4. The role of the type I interferons and viperin during neurotropic flavivirus infection

    Author : Richard Lindqvist; Anna Överby Wernstedt; Daniel Ruzek; Umeå universitet; []
    Keywords : MEDICIN OCH HÄLSOVETENSKAP; MEDICAL AND HEALTH SCIENCES; TBEV; Flavivirus; Interferon; Neurotropic; Viperin;

    Abstract : Flaviviruses are globally distributed pathogens that cause millions of human infections annually. One of the most detrimental outcomes of flavivirus infection is encephalitis, which is caused by neurotropic flaviviruses such as West Nile virus (WNV), Japanese encephalitis virus (JEV), and Tick-borne encephalitis virus (TBEV).

  7. 5. Interplay between tick-borne encephalitis virus and the host innate immunity

    Author : Chaitanya Kurhade; Anna Överby Wernstedt; Nelson Gekara; Helen Lazear; Umeå universitet; []
    Keywords : MEDICIN OCH HÄLSOVETENSKAP; MEDICAL AND HEALTH SCIENCES; Virology; Flavivirus; IPS-1; Interferon; Viperin; mikrobiologi; Microbiology;

    Abstract : Flaviviruses are important emerging and re-emerging arthropod-borne pathogens that cause significant morbidity and mortality in humans. It consists of globally distributed human pathogens such as tick-borne encephalitis virus (TBEV), West Nile virus (WNV), Japanese encephalitis virus (JEV), yellow fever virus (YFV), dengue virus (DENV), and Zika virus (ZIKV).
