2. 11. Properties of Interfacial Proteinaceous Films with Emphasis on Oral Systems

   Author : Cecilia Hahn Berg; Livsmedelsteknik; []
   Keywords : TEKNIK OCH TEKNOLOGIER; ENGINEERING AND TECHNOLOGY; Food and drink technology; Livsmedelsteknik; trypsin; SDS elutability; statherin; salivary proteins; salivary pellicle; proline-rich proteins; plaque control; mucins; microbial adhesion; lubrication; krillase; intraoral friction; hydroxyapatite; gelatin; exchange; enzymes; ellipsometry; dental plaque; degradation; colloidal probe; calcium-induced precipitation; adsorption; atomic force microscopy; total internal reflectance fluorescence spectroscopy;

   Abstract : The present thesis addresses three issues related to proteinaceous films at solid/liquid interfaces: adsorption, lubrication and enzymatic interactions. Most of the work has been devoted to oral systems. In addition, gelatin has been investigated as a model protein. READ MORE

4. 12. On the adsorption behaviour of saliva and purified salivary proteins at solid/liquid interfaces

   Author : Liselott Lindh; Malmö högskola; []
   Keywords : MEDICIN OCH HÄLSOVETENSKAP; MEDICAL AND HEALTH SCIENCES; acidic proline-rich proteins; adsorption; BSM; diffusion; ellipsometry; interfaces; mass transport limitation; mucins; MUC5B; saliva; salivary proteins; statherin; surface properties;

   Abstract : Den salivfilm som bildas genom selektiv proteinadsorption på ytor i munhålan har stor profylaktisk betydelse genom sin skyddande funktion och befrämjar därigenom oral hälsa. Några av de adsorberade komponenterna har smörjande funktion (t ex muciner, sura prolinrika proteiner (PRP) och statherin), som är viktig bl a för att förhindra slitage mellan tandytor vid tuggning och hos gnisslare.

5. 13. Intestinal mucins 'soluble and insoluble problems'

   Author : Annkatrin Herrmann; Institutionen för experimentell medicinsk vetenskap; []
   Keywords : MEDICIN OCH HÄLSOVETENSKAP; MEDICAL AND HEALTH SCIENCES; colorectal carcinoma; pulse labelling; organ culture; glycopeptide; small intestine; colon; glycoprotein complex; insoluble; muc2; MUC2; Mucin; mucus; carbohydrate; oligosaccharide.; Gastro-enterology; Gastroenterologi;

   Abstract : Highly glycosylated glycoproteins – mucins – are the major constituents of the mucus layer and glycocalyx that cover mucosal surfaces. Twelve human mucin genes have been identified, and the mucins may be divided into those that are membraneassociated and those that are secreted. READ MORE

6. 14. Mucus and mucins during gastrointestinal infections

   Author : Nazanin Navabi; Göteborgs universitet; []
   Keywords : MEDICIN OCH HÄLSOVETENSKAP; MEDICAL AND HEALTH SCIENCES; MEDICIN OCH HÄLSOVETENSKAP; MEDICAL AND HEALTH SCIENCES; mucin; gastrointestinal cell lines; mucus layer; secreted mucin; cell surface mucin; H. pylori; C. rodentium; ETEC; mucin secretion; goblet cells;

   Abstract : The gastrointestinal tract is protected by a continuously secreted mucus layer formed by mucin glycoproteins. The mucus layer and mucins change dynamically during infection. The main focus of this thesis was to investigate the changes in mucin and the mucus layer in the gastrointestinal tract during infection with the gastrointestinal pathogens C. READ MORE

7. 15. Mucins, Cystic Fibrosis and PDZ protein interactions

   Author : Emily Malmberg; Göteborgs universitet; []
   Keywords : MEDICIN OCH HÄLSOVETENSKAP; MEDICAL AND HEALTH SCIENCES; MEDICIN OCH HÄLSOVETENSKAP; MEDICAL AND HEALTH SCIENCES; Mucin; PDZ; transmembrane; MUC1; Cystic Fibrosis; clathrin; CFTR; PDZK1; Bcr; endocytosis; MUC17;

   Abstract : Cystic Fibrosis (CF) is caused and characterized by mutations in the Cystic Fibrosis Transmembrane conductance Regulator (CFTR) gene. The dominating feature of the disease is mucus accumulation on mucosal surfaces, but no direct functional connection between mucus and CFTR is known. READ MORE
